Sorry for creating new record, but I was unable to change #35238 status.
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?35238
Current implementation fails when mixing .gz and .cpio initrd images.
Test case:
initrd img1.cpio.gz img2.cpio
leads to wrong result.
.cpio header must be aligned on 4-byte boundary, while .gz size is not required to be multiple of 4.
Please add padding by zeroes to align initrd size on 4-byte boundary. See format specification here:
