If INITRAMFS_SOURCE points to a directory, files owned by this UID (-1 = current user) will be owned by root in the resulting image.

If you are not sure, leave it set to "0".

User ID to map to 0 (user root) found in drivers/block/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_INITRAMFS_ROOT_UID:

• prompt: User ID to map to 0 (user root)
• type: int
• depends on: CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE !=""
• defined in drivers/block/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.11–2.6.13

Help text

This setting is only meaningful if the INITRAMFS_SOURCE is contains a directory. Setting this user ID (UID) to something other than "0" will cause all files owned by that UID to be owned by user root in the initial ramdisk image.

If you are not sure, leave it set to "0".
