Hi Richard. I had a kernel patch and i need to test in the latest kernel. Before that i am trying to bring the kernel 2.6.x up and running. That is all i want to do.
By the way vmlinux -- is the kernel vmlinuz --- is the boot sector. Why initrd is needed ? While mkinitrd, I am getting the error /dev/mapper not found, But still it makes the initrd image.
