Need armv6 or Raspberry Pi support.

[root@mindcat-pi better-initramfs (master)]$ bootstrap/bootstrap-all 
>>> No arch specified. using 'armv6l'.
Looks like 'armv6l' is not supported. If the arch is valid consider reporting it upstream.
>>> init need arch argument, x86 or x86_64!
>>> No build_dir, forgot to /var/abs/local/better-initramfs/better-initramfs/bootstrap/lebuild init <arch>?

[root@mindcat-pi better-initramfs (master)]$ /var/abs/local/better-initramfs/better-initramfs/bootstrap/lebuild init armv6h
>>> init need arch argument, x86 or x86_64!

That is you want.

Need to figure out cross compilation, or get an armv6 hardware fast enough to handle compilation and testing.

Unless I got patches, don't expect this feature anytime soon.

I can provide some working cross toolchains and some stuff: https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools http://archlinuxarm.org/developers/distcc-cross-compiling

qemu somethings:

http://xecdesign.com/qemu-emulating-raspberry-pi-the-easy-way/

image: http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/raspberry-pi

kernel: http://xecdesign.com/downloads/linux-qemu/kernel-qemu

I think this command is working, but it need fix /etc/fstab,comment mmcblk0p1 boot partition.

qemu-system-arm -kernel kernel-qemu -cpu arm1176 -M versatilepb -no-reboot -append "ipv6.disable=1 selinux=0 plymouth.enable=0 smsc95xx.turbo_mode=N dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/sda5 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=noop rootwait" -hda archlinux-hf-2013-07-22.img

I believe that is helps, and I have the Raspberry Pi, I can help you test. so it is OK? or I try do my self.

Thanks for the links, I will poke around it. I have strong feeling that something (lib or app) is x96+x96_64 only In perfect env it should be just getting armv6 aboriginal image and running compilation.
