Dear Jim, I want a custom kernel because I need some other drivers for sound/graphics etc. And I hoped for some better performance when compiling for the specific processor (Pentium M).
Anyway: I unpacked the initramfs.gz file. The IS an init file in the root directory. Very strange. Maybe the .config file for the kernel is not correct. Is there anything that could prevent the kernel from using the initramfs.gz file? I noticed that there is an entry "initramfs file" in the kernel options, but that is not what we need, isn't it? Any other idea? Jens Jim McQuillan wrote: > On Thu, October 19, 2006 12:22 pm, Jens Korth wrote: > >>Dear Jim, >> >>thank you for offering your help.
