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 initramfs file(uImage.ramdisk) [http://matrix.senecac.on.ca/~ktaraghi/ Download my 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:
:Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 80200000 ...
: Kernel 2.6.28-omap1 on an armv7l (console)
