<!-- Results / 0.3 status of the project -->
So far, I could make a RPM for 2.6.28 kernel for a Beagle ARM board which works fine just for that specific kernel. Now, I am working on this rpm to expand it for any kernel and also to bind it with original(main) rpm. Here is the result of booting Beagle ARM board with this kernel. Also, it shows the result of loading Ramdisk via dracut software:
