Public bug reported: When using make-kpkg to build the Ubuntu-distributed kernel sources, no initrd.img is created which causes the computer to kernel panic on boot being unable to mount the root filesystem. Running mkinitramfs is not optimal as make-kpkg should do this, and if I manually create an initrd, any further update-grub action will cause my initrd line to disappear.
Here's the sequence of commands I have used: sudo -i cd /usr/src tar xvjf linux-source-2.6.35.tar.bz2 cd linux-source-2.6.35 make menuconfig < during this, the only thing I changed was the arch, from generic x86-64 to Core 2 > make-kpkg --append-to-version=-delan --jobs 16 --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers modules dpkg -i ../*.deb For creating the initrd image: mkinitramfs -o /boot/grub/initrd.img-2.6.35-rc1-delan ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- make-kpkg does not create an initrd image https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/592927 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
