# Description: Fix oldworld initrd loading problems.
-# The kernel somehow loses the information where the initrd image is
-# placed in memory. The correct data is there in
-# arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c:prom_check_initrd(), but in
-# init/initramfs.c:populate_rootfs() it's wrong, initrd_{start,end}
-# are both 0.
-# arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c:prom_check_initrd() is broken. The
-# relevant part of the code is:
+# It looks like older OF "setprop" is bogus and isn't actually copying the
+# data but just taking a pointer. The LongTrail workaround also has that
+# problem as "property" will not copy the data. This fixes the workaround
+# and applies it to Apple OF 1.0.5.
+# Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh at kernel.crashing.org>
# Closes:
# 375035: Kernel 2.6.16 attempts to access root device before running initramfs init
# 366620: initramfs-tools: 2.6.16-1-powerpc fails to mount rootfs, 2.6.15-1-powerpc works
