Wrong Ramdisk Image Format - Ramdisk image is corrupt or invalid

[DMårt]

I tried to replace the uImage and .dtb file inside the starter package.

First I copied over the kernel and .dtb file.

sudo mount -o loop st-image-bootfs-openstlinux-weston-stm32mp1.ext4 /mnt/bootfs
sudo cp ../linux-6.1.82/build/arch/arm/boot/uImage /mnt/bootfs/
sudo cp ../linux-6.1.82/build/arch/arm/boot/dts/stm32mp151a-stm32-computer-firmware-mx.dtb /mnt/bootfs
sudo umount /mnt/bootfs

 Then I booted the Linux kernel. See the log file log.txt. It stopped at the USB Hub decleration. So I guess that linux kernel was booted, but not initrd.

I tried to boot the system manually via U-boot and this happen.

I also did use another address for the Ramdisk file. Same result.

So that means that the Ramdisk file is corrupted. Notice that I have another hardware, the MP151 series, instead of the MP157 series. Perhaps I need to build my own initrd?

Yes. I have replace the "old" ramdisk file with a new ram disk file, and I still get the same error.

Question:

Is there any way for me to manually boot a correct image of initrd file by building my own?
