I'm trying to add 2 new mini disks to Redhat 5.3, and I've now reached
the point where I'm going nowhere fast. The dasd are online, and
mounted, I've updated both fstab and modprobe.conf, and I've renamed the
initrd img file according to the RedHat Installation Guide. When I try
to run mkinitrd, I get an error message, and so far, I haven't been able
to figure why it's complaining.The mkinitrd command I entered is:
mkinitrd -v /boot/initrd-2.6.18-128.el5.img 2.6.18-128.e15
The message I get back is: No modules available for kernel
"2.6.18-128.e15". I have no idea what modules it's looking for, or why
it can't find them. This is a brand new install, and I'm pretty sure no
one has logged on or tried to do anything yet.
When I issue uname -a to find out the kernel version, I get: Linux
Red53.idp.com 2.6.18-128.el5 #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 11:45:02 EST 2008 s390x s3x
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing, or not doing correctly?
Are there other commands to find out what version the kernel is?
If I just issue mkinitrd, like I do on Suse, I get the following:
usage: mkinitrd [--version] [--help] [-v] [-f] [--preload <module>]
[--force-ide-probe] [--force-scsi-probe | --omit-scsi-modules]
[--image-version] [--force-raid-probe | --omit-raid-modules]
[--with=<module>] [--force-lvm-probe | --omit-lvm-modules]
[--builtin=<module>] [--net-dev=<interface>]
[--without-usb] [--without-multipath] [--without-dmraid]
[--fstab=<fstab>] [--nocompress] <initrd-image> <kernel-version>
(ex: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.5-15.img 2.2.5-15)
How do I get the new dasd added to this RedHat system?
Thanks to anyone who can help.
