Notice that there's no initrd.img symlink. I thought there was earlier, but I was obviously mistaken. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2005-01-20 03:23 . drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 2004-12-16 01:07 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 39983 2005-01-18 23:32 config-2.6.8-20050118 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 40069 2004-10-03 07:15 config-2.6.8-powerpc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1024 2004-10-28 13:46 first.b -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4800512 2004-12-16 01:44 initrd.img-2.6.8-powerpc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2005-01-20 03:23 initrd.img.old -> initrd.img-2.6.8-powerpc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 44336 2004-10-28 13:46 second.b -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 944303 2005-01-19 03:48 System.map-2.6.8-20050118 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 942649 2004-10-03 08:13 System.map-2.6.8-powerpc lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 22 2005-01-19 18:51 vmlinux -> vmlinux-2.6.8-20050118 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3966579 2005-01-19 03:48 vmlinux-2.6.8-20050118 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3964695 2004-10-03 08:13 vmlinux-2.6.8-powerpc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1290162 2005-01-19 03:48 vmlinux.coff-2.6.8-20050118 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21 2004-12-16 01:44 vmlinux.old -> vmlinux-2.6.8-powerpc This is the only difference in kernel config: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/boot$ diff config-2.6.8-20050118 config-2.6.8-powerpc 314a315 > # CONFIG_AIC7XXX_BUILD_FIRMWARE is not set 321a323 > # CONFIG_AIC79XX_BUILD_FIRMWARE is not set So I don't quite understand why an initrd image wasn't created, nor how I can create one myself to get my new kernel booting. Any suggestions?
