[Cbe-oss-dev] Building a busybox for kdump kernel boot

[André Detsch]

In order to reduce the amount of reserved memory required for getting 
the kdump kernel to work, it is recommended the use of a special 
busybox-based initrd.

The following tarball consists of a spec file, a busybox .config file 
and a simple initialization script for the busybox-base environment. 
With this files, one can easily build a rpm, by downloading
http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.5.1.tar.bz2
and running the appropriate rpmbuild command.

Nothing really cell-specific, but that is what we are using for the 
kdump on cell support testing, and might be helpful for others too.

Cheers,
