Re: Problem of compiling kernel

Perhaps you need to compile an initrd and you forgot to give the

This is something confusing me so long. Is it neccessary to make the initrd file? I just remember that i have read quite a lot articles about compiling kernel on Linux, a lot of them do not tell that you must make the initrd file. I don't check the "RAM disk support" when "make meuconfig". Then should i really need to add the step of making initrd file?

Any suggestions are appreciated!


Make sure to select your root disk driver and root filesystem as built-ins and you won't need to worry about an initrd.
