I'm sorry for my confusion, but I did post a topic about initramfs and job control turned off. I have found some emails on the list archive discussing this issue and various relsolves. It just doesnt make sense. I have tried to put the kernel I built with kernel-package into chroot_local-packages. It works. I also need to include ndiswrapper and madwifi modules along with unionfs. When these modules are included then the kernel doesnt install. It says dependency issue and the modules are attempted to be installed before the kernel. What can I do to fix this?
Here is what I have tried. I left the custom kernel in chroot_local-packages. the installed the modules separately by use of dpkg -i <module>.deb. I am using a plain filesystem. My specific questions are: What configs do I need to change so lh_build can find the kernel and the modules at the right times? What values in those configs do I need to change? Do I need to run 'update-initramfs' again? The names of my kernel and modules are as follows: linux-image-2.6.18.1-386_2.6.18.1-386-10.00.Custom_i386 madwifi-modules-2.6.18.1-386_0.9.2+r1842.20061207-2+2.6.18.1-386-10.00.Custom_i386 ndiswrapper-modules-2.6.18.1-386_1.28-1+2.6.18.1-386-10.00.Custom_i386 unionfs-modules-2.6.18.1-386_1.4+debian-4+2.6.18.1-386-10.00.Custom_i386 I am going to attach my debian-live/config/boostrap, since I think I am just putting the wrong name somewhere. The error I get at boot is: Begin: Mounting root file system... ... BusyBox v1.1.3 Built-in shell (ash) ..... ..... /bin/sh:cant access tty: job control turned off ..... ..... (initramfs) (I am dropped the initramfs limitted shell.) I understand that this solution is posted somewhwre on the list. The list has A LOT of emails to go through. So if someone could be kind and at least hint me in the right direction, that would be very very appreciated. Thanks Or if someone knows the URL to the topic about this issue, that would also be very very helpful. BTW: This project has come a long ways in the last month. Keep up the good work devs! Its appreciated! Alk3
