Hi ! As I finally do have my 7043-260 up and running with kernel 2.6.11 power3 smp, I went to try to build my own kernel. Needless to say: not very successfull. I'm stuck with this for more than 3 weeks.... argh. I got all the sources and patches an tools etc. installed. As i read in several howtos, it should work like this:
make menuconfig make-kpkg clean make-kpkg --append-to-version=.anything --initrd kernel-image dpkg -i kernel-image Although I did (as one can read in lots of howtos) configure all the important modules to drive my disk as mandatory, the new created kernel does always the same when it should do something different, as the log of my good old kernel shows. Must be something with initrd/cramfs/ramdisk, when i interpret the logfiles in the right way... (see logs below) What am I doing wrong ? Thanks for help in advance...
