Is the mkinitrd-2.7-10mdk.i586.rpm downloaded directly from cooker? If so, did you make sure that glibc is upgraded to 2.2.x ?

Checking the repository ( I'm currently stuck in 7.2 ), it must have been mkinitrd-2.7-10mdk.i586.rpm ( modified Fri 06/04/01 22:15 and I attempted the upgrade on Saturday morning ). -- Linux Mandrake release 7.2 (Odyssey) for i586 KDE 2.1 Linux 2.2.17-27mdkWin4Lin, Uptime 7 hours 56 minutes

Re: [Cooker] DrakX 480 upgrade report and aix7xxx modules
Yes. And by the way, you can get your 243-8 entry by dl kernel-2.4.3-8mdk.i586.rpm and rpm -i --replacepkgs. Using rpmdrake update to that new kernel update by chmou and you see 243-9 in lilo.

[Cooker] DrakX 480 upgrade report and aix7xxx modules
/ChangeLog/1.480/Fri Apr 6 17:05:11 2001// 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?
