We are using the voyage linux distribution and like it very much :) Since we have special reuirements for the the kernel (e.g., RTAI) we want to compile our own kernel. So we did the following:
- Install voyage Linux on a Flash Disk (We use a Soekris board as a target) - Compile a new (patched) kernel - Copy the kernel to the /boot directory (on the flash disk) - Add a new grub entry in the menu.lst file - Copy the kernel modules to /lib/modules directory (on the flash disk) Result: * the kernel modules could not be loaded (the directory /lib/modules/new-kernel-version was not accessible even though it exisited on the flash card). * We have not generated a new initrd.img and we think that this might be the problem * Do we have to generate a new initrd.img that includes our new directory for the kernel modules? * How can we do this? * Why is a initrd.img required anyway? Thank you very much for helping us. -- View this message in context: http://n3.nabble.com/initrd-img-tp422550p422550.html Sent from the Voyage Linux mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Voyage-linux mailing list [email protected] http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux
