Hello, I am trying to build my customized kernel package integrating the FreeSwan source.
I am running Debian 2.2 (potato) with the 2.4.9 kernel (using bunk's updates). I am having trouble with (I believe) initrd (which I have limited knowledge of. The 2.4.9 kernel package that I am running, uses an initrd image, and I grabbed the kernel source, and the .config for the debian kernel. (from apt-get source <kernel package name>). I patched in the freeswan code, and did the following: [wolf: /usr/src/linux]# make-kpkg kernel_image Everything went fine, the package was dropped in /usr/src, the problem is when I installed it (using dpkg -i), it did not put an initrd image in /boot/ but the System.map config and vmlinuz image were all there. Crossing my fingers, I made an entry for my new image in the lilo.conf (removing the initrd reference) and rebooted, but no luck: heres the last few lines from my kernel panic: Linux IP multicast router 0.06 plus PIM-SM klips_info: ipsec_init: KLIPS startup, FreeS/WAN IPSec version: snap2001oct9b request_module[block-major-3]: Root fs not mounted vfs: Cannot open root device "301" or 03:01 Please append a correct "root=" boot option kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:01 Any help on what I might be doing wrong, My hunch is that it has to do with no initrd image (since that's what I noticed missing). But I guess it could also be the freeswan source, since it's a snapshot, the latest stable source (1.91) could not compile with my 2.4.9 kernel, and the freeswan people told me to grab a snapshot (apparently there are known issues with 2.4.9 <-> 1.91. -- Nick Jennings -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
