hi, i have to recompile a kernel (2.6.25.9) to get some hardware working, for example network cards and 3ware SCSI SATA controller from the installer (debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso). But I'm unable to create a valid kernel and/or initrd.
i did something like: # mount loop .iso # copy the contents into a directory # compile kernel and copy them to cd/install.amd/vmlinuz # unpack initrd.gz # copy the modules to lib/modules # recompress with cpio and gzip (cd ramdisk/ ; find . -depth -print | cpio -oc > ../newinitrd ; cd .. ; gzip newinitrd) # copy the new initrd.gz to cd/install.amd/initrd.gz # create mkisofs # starting ... But, however. I get a) tried reiserfs,ext3,ext2,cramfs .... "Kernel panic - Unable to mount ...." b) or if i do mkcramfs ramdisk/ new.cramfs and copy them to cd/install.amd/initrd.gz, i get "Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(253,0)" and he lists some partitions from ram0 till ram15. He said, i tried to boot from <NULL> as root= so, what i have to do. Most pages and Howtos are old. I want to change only the kernel with his modules, nothing more. cu denn -- Stoppt den Überwachungswahn - Stoppt den Schäuble Katalog: http://www.nopsis.de
