Thanks Mark. I did download "mkinitrd" yesterday and was able to solve the problem. Now I am running 2.6.32:)

So, please just install the “mkinitrd” and then can solve your issue.

I downloaded the latest kernel(2.6.32) from kernel.org and was able to compile it successfully. But during the "make install" phase I got the following error: [r...@nayaka-lnx linux-2.6.32]# make install sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.32/arch/x86/boot/install.sh 2.6.32 arch/x86/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot" /sbin/new-kernel-pkg: line 277: /sbin/mkinitrd: No such file or directory mkinitrd failed Not sure why "mkinitrd" binary wasn't there in /sbin. I suppose system binaries should be there in /sbin. Or do I need to install that binary explicitly?

It could be due to 2.6.10 is quite old whereas Fedora 12 is a shiny new distro. OK, things to check: 1. before you do compilation, have you done "make mrproper" or "make clean" or "make distclean" to make sure there are no stale object file from previous compilation(s)? 2. If you do compilation on rather new kernel, say 2.6.29.x on this Fedora 12, do you get same error? 3. In fedora 12, do you see package that represents kinda older gcc? IIRC once in older version of Fedora/Redhat, this is named as egcs or something like that.... If there is one, install it and use it to compile the kernel and see it works. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to [email protected] Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
