Initramfs embedded in kernel

Hi,

I have been struggling with initramfs last couple of days without success.

My intention is to use initramfs to unlock encrypted rootfs partition before kernel starts to mount that particular partition.

I'm using my own image-small-initramfs.bb recipe to generate initramfs.

After bitbake build "image-small-initramfs-imx8mmevk-20220421133958.rootfs.cpio.gz" is created.

I have also added path to that file in linux menuconfig.

That is done in "Initramfs source file" and string/path looks something like this:

/home/user/...../build/tmp/deploy/images/imx8mmevk/image-small-initramfs-imx8mmevk.cpio.gz

local.conf is also updated with flowing information.

INITRAMFS_IMAGE = "image-small-initramfs"
INITRAMFS_IMAGE_BUNDLE = "1"

Yocto builds fine. No error or warnings.

When i boot my board I change mmcroot to "mmcroot /dev/ram0 rootwait rw"

The kernel starts and kernel panic occurs.

Does anyone understand what I'm doing wrong.

This is image-small-initramfs.bb recipe:

DESCRIPTION = "Minimal console-only initramfs image."

PACKAGE_INSTALL= "\
base-files \
base-passwd \
busybox \
initscripts \
${ROOTFS_BOOTSTRAP_INSTALL} \
"

IMAGE_LINGUAS = " "

LICENSE = "MIT"

IMAGE_FEATURES = ""

export IMAGE_BASENAME = "image-small-initramfs"

IMAGE_FSTYPES = "${INITRAMFS_FSTYPES} ${INITRAMFS_FSTYPES}.u-boot"
inherit image

IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE = "8192"
