Hmm - not sure if "make install" does rebuild initrd. That's not a standardI compiled module support for ext3 which is the filesystem I use. I did not rebuild initrd with mkinitrd but I thought that the make install did that for me. Is this not correct?
feature so unless RedHat tweaked the Makefile then I don't suppose it will.
Personally I build my kernels with hardwired support for the root filesystem and whatever
hardware i need (eg scsi raid controller) to access said filesystem. Some
say this is best others not..... YMMV.

Any ideas? Did you build the relevant root filesystem support into the kernel or make it as a module and rebuilt initrd? hih nick@nexnix >Michael > > > >-- >redhat-list mailing list >unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe >https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
