The point of all this being what? I would recommend you use one of the pre-packaged kernel images, you gain nothing if you rebuild (assuming you use the kernel-source package from Debian).
i need it. i'm using kernel-source package from Debian Sarge
If you insist on building your kernel yourself, either
o create your own initrd using other tools (you want to create your own kernel, why not create your own mkinitrd?), or
i did it by : mkinitrd -k -o /initrd.img-2.6.4 and configure my /boot/grub/menu.lst
title debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.4 root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.4 root=/dev/hda1 ro initrd /initrd.img-2.6.4 savedefault boot
give me an example of an other tool ?
o leave out the initrd entirely (building all drivers for the root filesystem into the kernel itself), or
yes, i build it with no problem
o build ata_piix as a module (CONFIG_SCSI_ATA_PIIX=m), or
i dont find this option CONFIG_SCSI_ATA_PIIX=m in my .config file
o upgrade initrd-tools (0.1.64 should do).
i'm trying...
excuse me for the last unfinished mail
