mkinitrd?
I have used other distro's before and they always have 'mkinitrd'. I
have created a partition
that I want to use as a rescue cd, but having trouble trying to find out
how to create a
initrd.img
in Debian. I have search google till I just became confused with the
issue. I find all kinds of
references to Debian and mkinitrd, but it isn't on either of my Debian
installs, apt-get can't
find it either and it looks like it isn't available as a package or
contained in any other packages.
Maybe I am going down the wrong path, but if I want to make my CD
bootable, everything seem
to point that I need to have an initrd.img included. I think I should
make one that goes with the
kernel I am using, 2.4.18.
I even downloaded an rpm and used Alien to convert it to a .deb, but it
won't install cause it wants to
overwrite 'installkernel' which is part of 'debutils'. If I try to
remove debutils it will remove too many
important package.
All I want to do it take my bootable partition I created and create a
bootable CD, but I am stuck at the
initrd.img. I have the harddrive partition image created with partition
image and going to try and use
something else to make it boot till I get this solved.
Does anyone know what happened to 'mkinitrd' and if something else will
create the initrd.img I think I
need, or point me down the correct path?
Thanks Dave
