Re: Re: debian woody on Z800 help
I finally got the script to work thanks to Stefan Gybas and Tonn
Gerhard. I wasn't passing the script the kernel version. Steps to get
the second initrd image were as follows.
1. Download OCO modules from IBM developer works
2. Download mkinitrd2.sh from people.debian.org/~sgybas
3. Put all files into same directory (don't unzip or untar them)
4. execute script passing it the kernel version "./mkinitrd2.sh 2.4.17"
5. Rejoyce.
I won't know if this works until the os/390 system people get the osa
card defined to the IFL lpar that I'm working on. This should be about
2 weeks from what they told me. I might need some more help then.
Thanks Very Much
Doug Griswold
