I do build in initrd and cramfs, I have been through menuconfig a few times now and selected
everything that looked remotely relevant.
that makes the installer fail to load the initrd containing the
installer. The initrd also has to be rebuilt for the kernel from the
debian-installer package, and the udeb's rebuilt using another debian
package.
Sorry, but I don't really understand that last sentence, could you expand some more please?
"The initrd has to be rebuilt for the kernel from the debian-installer package". Surely if I built
the kernel and did the mkinitrd using the modules from that then we should be ok?
"... and the udeb's rebuilt using another Debian package" - I don't understand this
Well if you say the driver appears to work, I would be willing to try
building an image with a _debian_ 2.6.12 kernel with that driver in it.
Starting from kernel.org sources is way to much work.
Ok, that would be nice! Although, I would like to be able to do this myself, so perhaps I will try
to get the actual Debian kernel source and see if that has better luck. Let me know if you get a
working iso...
Thanks,
