I built 2.6.11.5 last weekend. I could generate initrd by the following (as root):
/sbin/mkinitrd initrd-2.6.11.5.img 2.6.11.5 <== modules are in /lib/modules/2.6.11.5 from previous make modules_install
cp initrd-2.6.11.5.img /boot/.
change /etc/yaboot.conf to point to correct initrd . . .img ybin -v
Good luck, Bruce On Mar 29, 2005, at 10:38 AM, Jonathan Hartje wrote:
OK, so I've downloaded the 2.6.11 source and built it. I can not figure out how to make the initrd though... make initrd doesn't seem to work with the 2.6 kernels. (This is the first 2.6 kernel I've tried to build). I looked for instructions via google/kernel.org but didn;t find anything ppc related. Any ideas?

Bill,
��� Thanks for the help. I'll download the new kernel source and let her rip. I'll keep the list updated on my results.

I have one of the new 1.66 GHz PowerBooks with YDL 4.0.1 installed. It seems as though cpufreq isn't happy with the new chip speed. Does anyone know how/where to insert new information to get the clock speed up to normal. I figure a newer kernel release is probably upcoming from TSS, so I can wait if need be. Just wondering.
You will need a new kernel. Consult the thread on linuxppc-dev at:
http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2005-March/018580.html
It includes a kernel patch you could try out (requires a 2.6.11 kernel).
There is also another thread dealing with sleeping and cpufreq issues at:
http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2005-March/018655.html
Or you could just wait as you suggested for TSS to release a new kernel.

Subject: Newer laptops & CPU speed
From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Date: Mon Mar 14 13:33:42 EST 2005
Hi !
It seems the new laptops are booting with CPU set to low
speed. /proc/cpuinfo outputs the wrong fequency (thinks it's high speed)
but bogomips shows that it's running at about half speed. This patch
against 2.6.11 (will not apply on 2.6.10) adds proper cpufreq support so
that the boot speed is recognized (fixing /proc/cpuinfo output) and so
you can acutally use cpufreq interface & utilities to switch to full
speed (I recommend powernowd).
This is completely untested as I don't have access to any of those new
models yet, so I'm waiting for some feedback before submitting upstream.
Ben.
