Installation type: expert upgrade from hd.img-2.2.17-BOOT8
It went pretty well this time - just a couple of things...
1) DrakeLogo-1.0-20mdk.i586.rpm segfaults. When the installer retries
bad packages, it would be better if it retried individual packages -
redoing the same batch is useless - the first one fails and they all do.
2) No initrd was made in the install, so I couldn't try 2.4.3-8mdk -
first boot was into kernel 2.2.19-6mdk. I tried mkinitrd but it hung the
console every time with no result.
I copied the /boot stuff and /lib/modules stuff to my 7.2 partition and
ran mkinitrd from there. It complained that it couldn't find aix7xxx
module. True, it wasn't there, but the _old one (that works for me) was
there, so I decompressed it (this is 7.2) and renamed it to aix7xxx.o.
I now have an initrd for 2.4.3-8mdk but I haven't had time to test it yet
- still busy working in 7.2.
I found out about this aix7xxx problem when I built a 2.4.2-18mdk kernel
for 7.2. The aix7xxx.o didn't work at all, so I had to configure for the
aix7xxx_old.o module to build the kernel, then I had to rename
aix7xxx_old.o to aix7xxx.o, otherwise modprobe wouldn't play.
This is all a bit messy. Does anyone actually use the new (supported??)
aix7xxx.o?
