All, Suddenly I can't make a viable initrd.img I've removed and re-installed mkinitrd ... but no change. Here's the story.
build 16mm with about 50% fewer modules, the ck2 patch and the win4lin patch. All patches applied without a problem. I'd previously built the 16mm kernel etc and it works. Do make mrproper, make xconfig, make dep, make bzImage, make clean, make modules, make modules_install, and make install. Up to make install everything is without error. When I do the make install the last few lines are. sh -x ./install.sh 2.4.21-wflplus bzImage /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-0.16mm-mdk/System.map "" + '[' -x /root/bin/installkernel ']' + '[' -x /sbin/installkernel ']' + exec /sbin/installkernel 2.4.21-wflplus bzImage /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-0.16mm-mdk/System.map '' mke2fs 1.32 (09-Nov-2002) mke2fs 1.32 (09-Nov-2002) look like there was a problem, the default vmlinuz version is not the same of the initrd which mean you have a mdk kernel and not a mdk initrd you may go in trouble make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-0.16mm-mdk/arch/i386/boot' (Note the English above is as it appears.... Not my English) a check of /boot and /etc/lilo.conf show that all is there (including the intrd.img. And looks good. lilo runs without problem. Reboot and choose the new kernel. It starts I see loading vmlinuz the screen goes blank and I return to the lilo page. Ok. I try to install 18mdk from RPM. Same exact result. So I go into /boot move the img for a working 13mdk to the side and try to make an new image. This returns no error. run lilo and reboot to 13mdk .... it does the same as the new kernel. move the original intrd.img back and it now boots without a qualm. Conclusion... I can't build an initrd.img. Any thoughts here? Running MDK 9.1 fully upgraded. (except for the kernel I can't get to run.) James
