Hello
copy2ram script is broken in Plop 26.2.
The problem is this line:
mem_kb=$(free | grep Mem | cut -b 30-40)This should be changed to:
mem_kb=$(free | grep Mem | cut -b 35-45)
It is always problematic to "cut" the command. It would be better to "awk" it:
mem_kb=$(free | grep Mem | awk '{print $4}')
But "awk" is not part of busybox. And simply copy it to the initramfs does also not work because of missing librarys.
I am not sure how to fix it smoothly. ::)
Yeah, using awk would definitely be cleaner, but I see the problem with adding it to the initramfs. Hopefully there's a simple BusyBox-compatible way to handle the memory value without relying on fixed character positions.

It is already fixed since Plop Linux 26.3. without awk and not relying on fixed characters. I fixed it with my own smart solution.
