== '''Project Release 0.1 Update''' ==
Hello,
After working on my project for the whole study week, I could figure out how to make initramfs with dracut for my Fedora-ARM board. After successfully booting and getting prompt for logging to Fedora 13 beta, I had trouble to install dracut on my ARM borad.Fortunately, I solved the problem and you can click on this link to get full details that I posted on my blob.[http://ktaraghi.blogspot.com/2011/03/installation-of-dracut-in-fedora-13-arm.html Installation of dracut in Fedora-ARM 13 Beta]After installing dracut, I had to compile the kernel in order to get modules for the ARM board which is a must for dracut to work properly. For full details and explanations, click on this link that I posted on my blog page:[http://ktaraghi.blogspot.com/2011/03/kernel-compilation-for-arm.html Kernel Compilation for ARM and Installation of Modules.] Finally, I could boot my ARM board up with initramfs that I made it with dracut. Here is the link to my initramfs for Fedora 13 beta so that you click on this link to download the file(initramfs). This just work with OMAP3 family.And here is the output of the kernel before logging that shows booting system with dracut and initramfs:
