Every new Mandrake kernel-2.4.1 build I've installed resulted in creating
/boot/initrd-version. All builds before 2.4.1-22mdk seem to remove
/boot/initrd. I do not know if it happend as result of rpm -e or it was
something different.
I do not know if initrd is part of kernel or not. I just make the observation
that it normally appears after I install kernel and disappears after I remove
kernel.
The only difference here was that I used customized kernel on top of
2.4.1-22mdk (make mrproper; make menuconfig; make modules; make
modules_install; make bzlilo). The above steps did *not* resulted in new
initrd, at least kernel was installed in root (and not /boot), no
/initrd-version was created and /boot/initrd-2.4.1-22mdk version was not
changed.
I already wrote that I did get initrd every time I installed kernel. I now
have /boot/initrd-2.4.2-3mdk. You have any specific reasons to not believe me?
