booting 2.4.4
Hi,
I was using kernel 2.4.3 without any problems, but kernel 2.4.4 refuses to
boot. I do not think that my kernel Configuration is wrong.
There was a Thread "trouble booting 2.4.4" some days ago, which suggested to
put:
do_initrd = Yes in "/etc/kernel-img.conf"
and
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.4 in "/etc/lilo.conf"
My Custom made kernel.deb did not make a /boot/initrdxxx file, so I did it
myshelf with:
mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd-2.4.4-686 /lib/modules/2.4.4
But no success, it refuses to boot and basically tells me that it can not
find my /root partiton, but a "root=..." line is included in lilo.conf.
So what can I do in order to boot kernel 2.4.4 ?
And where can I find information about such dramatic changes concerning the
boot process (In advance) ?
The (kernel) Changes file did not mention anything.
Versions of packages (possibly) related to the problem:
||/ Name Version
+++-===================
ii kernel-package 7.40
ii modutils 2.4.2-0.bunk
ii initrd-tools 0.1.7
ii lilo 21.4.3-2
Any help is appreciated.
Daniel
