Does anybody have documentation how to build boot kernel and initrd.img using different kernel like 2.4.9-e25?

I finally figured out that the problem is /dev/sda1 is a FAT filesystem and the disk is 140GB, so natuallly the disk is too big for the filesystem to fit. I went into the autoinstall script and limited the size of the partition and it's downloaded the image even as we speak. Naturally the big question is can the autoinstallscript be made intelligent enough to NOT try and lay a FAT partition down over a larger size than it's capable of dealing with? -mark Mark Seger wrote: > I made a big breakthrough, but I'm not sure if I did the right thing > or not.
