    Please check the initramfs source config. Or try "make" the second time.

    tryed make second time (did a make clean first) did not help

    not quite sure how to check the initramfs source config.

    Some clues:

    The final image is about 1.2M.

    The init file in the romfs folder is only 9 bytes and shows to be a broken link

    any thoughts
