Hi, I've got a copule of woody systems and am trying to build a stock(i.e. from kernel.org) 2.4.21 kernel for one of them on the other (both are currently running 2.2 - but that shouldn't matter, right?).
No matter what I try, I always get "cramfs: wrong magic" and a panic when it's unable to mount the root device (3:3 - hda3 (which is my real root)). Things I've tried include: * initrd with cramfs. * initrd with romfs (had to increase size of ramdisk for this one). * not passing the --initrd arg to make-kpkg (Hmmm... does that imply the kernel should have been configured without CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD?). Of possible relevance is that when installing a kernel .deb which was built with --initrd the installation dialog does not report a size for the initrd. I'm not fussed if the end result does or doesn't use an initrd - just that it works ;-) Any pointers to the right magic for overcoming this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Neale.
