We seem to have some problems with re-compiling in this list and it is due to the fact
that many
here now are Caldera refugees <grin> with differing distros in the list now.
Initrd is a script that is called since the introduction of 2.4.x kernels. In Cladera
it resides
in /usr/libexec/modules/mkinitrd.sh and this is called with the path plus
mkintrd 2.4.x(being the kernel number). AFAIK this is essential in the calling of
modules and
must be done _immediately_ after calling modules_install in the kernel compilation. If
this si
not done then you can expect problems with module calls, as I did before being aware
of it.
I would imagine that if it is necessary with Cladera then it probably is also with
other
distros.
Ha to get this in and will endevour to edit and submit a revised Kernel Compiling for
the SxS to
include this before I unsub later today or early tomorrow, before leaving on holidays.
