Re: Why does Live Helper does not generate initrd.img if a custom kernel
is applied

    Kernel name convention is critical for custom kernel and Live Helper
(2.0~a19-1)

    For 32bit use this:
    linux-image-2.6.36-686_2.6.36_i386.deb

    For 64bit use this:
    linux-image-2.6.36-amd64_2.6.36_amd64.deb

    Command to generate these:

    fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-686
--revision=2.6.36 kernel_image

    fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-amd64
--revision=2.6.36 kernel_image

------------------------------------------------------------

is the kernel package name critical to live helper get correctly?
my packages are:

linux-headers-3.13.0-rc8_1.0huayra_i386.deb
linux-image-3.13.0-rc8_1.0huayra_i386.deb

we use make-kpkg --initrd --revision 1.0huayra kernel_image kerner_headers
