Eric, Thanks for the help. I followed your instructions in a previous post on building the minimum packages after a kernel build: modules, initrd, and root.lrp. ipsec was also built/packaged from the same kernel.
Today I tried beta 2.3: 1. Downloaded linux-2.4.29.upx (renamed to linux), initrd_ide (renamed to initrd), root, modules; copied to the root of my compact flash drive C:\. 2. Changed leaf.cfg to reflect above packages + my original etc and config and no more. 3. Tried to boot but got stuck at: RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 After giving up on Beta 2.3, I then I copied all minimum packages (including etc and config) from the 2.2.2 ISO along with kernel. No changes made. leaf.cfg: LRP=modules,root,config,etc Booted up just fine... I then went inside /tmp and created a file called "mii" (mii.o is in /lib/modules): foobar# touch mii foobar# insmod mii Using mii insmod: error reading ELF header: Success insmod: Could not load the module: Success So this behavior has been there for some time? -cpu Eric Spakman wrote: >Cpu, > >>Eric, >> >>It looks like it's trying to load /lib/ipsec/ipsec (the shell >>script). >>Does insmod default to the current directory?
