Description jsteckli 2010-06-25 15:22:58 UTC 
My config contains:

#
# Kernel
#
# BR2_LINUX_KERNEL is not set

Yet, I get:

Comment 2 Thomas Petazzoni 2010-06-25 21:15:40 UTC 
It's because you have BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS enabled and that depends on building the kernel. But, granted, there is a bug: we shouldn't allow the selection of initramfs if Linux kernel isn't enabled. I'll cook a patch to fix this.

Thanks for the report!
Comment 3 Thomas Petazzoni 2010-06-25 22:07:27 UTC 
See http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2010-June/035737.html for the proposed fix.

Committed Thomas' fix, thanks
Comment 5 jsteckli 2010-06-28 16:54:17 UTC 
Actually that (building initramfs without kernel) was working fine for a while and I was using it. So the fix destroys a feature for me. Is this by design?

Ok, I can use the cpio built by buildroot. Ignore me. :)
