I'm attempting to build a kernel from the Debian 2.4.22 sources from
Testing on Woody. I've come upon several problems, though, so maybe
someone on this list can help.
When I boot, I'm getting messages saying "modprobe: cannot find module
block-major-22" followed by a kernel panic. From what I've read, this
can be a symptom of a badly configured initrd. I don't need initrd (I
don't think), so I made a non-initrd kernel image and tried that. On
boot, I got messages saying that VFS couldn't find my root filesystem,
followed by a kernel panic.
Thinking that maybe initrd is worth it, I added 'ide-disk' to
/etc/mkinitrd/modules (block-major-22 is the IDE disks) and rebuilt the
kernel using make-kpkg. It didn't work though, I got the 'cannot find
module block-major-22' error again.
What do I have to do to get this working?
Thanks in advance.
