@ShantanuBanerjee: I edited my answer to clarify this sentence. What I mean is that you can use starndard uncopressed Image file or compressed zImage as kernel.img and RaspberryPi bootloader should handle both of this situation well.

@ShantanuBanerjee: Not out of the box. bcmrpi_emergency_defconfig contains CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE set to ../target_fs/. So your initramfs content has to be located in this direcotry. If it is, you should get kernel with initramfs. You can easily check this by comparing image size.

| Oct 15, 2012 at 9:51 | comment | added | Krzysztof Adamski | Yes, this is true but trying to do this on RaspberryPi itself is not really good idea. Downloading zip is working great, on the other hand. I will add short note about using git too. | |

Great write up, but you shouldn't use zip; git efficiently transfers the files and you can use depth=1 to prevent downloading history (I think).
