Just for the record, the actual size of the on-disk initramfs is 7861729 bytes. I padded it with 7 extra zero bytes to make the size a multiple of 8, in case the bootloader requires an 8-byte restriction. Why 8-byte? The kernel image got that size restriction by chance.
Is this valid? I can not recall anyone saying they had to pad the size of the initramfs file.
Rich.
