it helps solve the common
“FATAL: [...] modules.dep not found” messages at boot time

by copying modules.dep into the .img tree.
thanks

Excellent and timeless.

2 years later and it is still the simplest exposition of what needs to be done to accomplish the task.

No mumbo jumbo. Just the straight goods.

Thanks!

A little more depth (e.g., how the kernel uses the init ram disk, how to create a ram disk) would be useful but, otherwise good info.
