I installed a 2.6.2-1 Kernel Image and successfully made an initrd with ext3 and ... and ... the thing booted (after a small correction in the mkinitrd.conf requested by the first panic message!).
OK. Alsa would start up. I did not expect it to since there is an updated alsa for this kernel and some stuff built in for it. (If I want to use this kernel but keep my old one around for a while, might a get the newer alsa and not kill the older one?) A couple of modules were not found. "Assumed built into kernel". No harm apparently. And, oh yes, the mouse did not work but there has been a lot of that going around lately :-) Would the /dev/mouse0 entry in XF86Config-4 interfere with the old kernel? Similar initrds made for my 2.4.22-xfs are not accepted as valid ram images. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
