After following the howto @
http://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/1314/21/debian-amd64-howto.html
I was able to build a 2.6.1 or 2.6.2-rc2-bk1 monolithic kernel
And have gotten it working rather well
The problem I'm having is with a modular kernel
I cant seem to get a modular kernel to load
Without this error message occurring on boot
"request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c"
The second modular kernel
Is always build in the chroot using make
menuconfig, make
bzImage, make modules
The installation of the bzImage is done outside of
the
chroot with the make modules_install
I have setup the System.map as well into /boot
I’m unable to use make-dpkg to build kernel's due to error's
Has anyone had success there ?
Any information about building amd64 kernels and how to implement
modular
kernels would be helpful.
If someone with experience would like to have a go
shell
access can be provided.
This is a dual opteron 240 box running a tyan K8S mobo, debian stable
and sarge
chroot
