Hi Herbert,

thanks for the reply, here's the relevant files as requested...

# /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf:

#
# This file is meant to be parsed as a shell script.

# What modules to install.

# If this is set to probe mkinitrd will try to figure out what's needed
to
# mount the root file system.  This is equivalent to the old PROBE=on
setting.
ROOT=probe

# This controls the permission of the resulting initrd image.
UMASK=022

# Command to generate the initrd image.
MKIMAGE='mkcramfs %s %s  /dev/null'
#MKIMAGE='mkext2fs %s %s  /dev/null'
# Set this to yes if you want to use busybox(1).

# Set this to no if you want to disable /usr/share/initrd-tools/scripts.
PKGSCRIPTS=yes

# This file should contain the names of kernel modules and their
arguments
# (if any) that are needed to mount the root file system, one per line.

Thanks Herbert that did the trick,  should have guessed that from the

Lilo/initrd problems after apt-get of new kernel-image -- help needed

2003-12-06 Thread Kirby J. Davis 
Good morning,

In trying to get my Armada 4130T laptop's soundcard working I've
obtained kernel-image-2.4.22-1-686 and installed it. I also modified
the lilo.conf file and it appears to be loading initrd on rebooting
the computer. However, as soon as the BIOS loaded successfully
message pops up the computer automatically reboots itself.

Could someone point me in the right direction as to how to fix this
problem?

Thanks!

initrd problems

2002-09-20 Thread Tim Olsen 


I am having problems setting up an initial ramdisk for my kernel.  I
get the following message during boot:

RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.


I used make-kpkg to build my kernel from a stock 2.4.19 source tree:

make-kpkg --initrd -rev custom.2 kernel_image



Here's my kernel config.  I have ramdisk support, initrd, and cramfs
all compiled into the kernel.  Is there anything else that I need?

I think I figured it out.  mkinitrd only works with Debian kernel
sources.  (bug 149236)
