try this solution
the error makes absolutely no sense to me, cause i don't see where /var/temp is coming from, but in any case, just try and see if passing them aruguments to mkintrd will work ... or maybe it just needs the -o argument so like /sbin/mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd-2.6.0.img 2.6.0 but like i said i have no idea, i never seen that before, so the best you can do is try different things, and see if you can get it to work, by passing switches to mkinitrd or whatever else you can come up with .. i am not sure, all i can say is just try different things ;-) |
Actually, anyone's help would do at this point. I'm on a time-line. :(
|
Oh...there you are! ;) Thanks...I'll try that! Sorry, didn't see that it had flipped to the second page. Started to get worried that you wouldn't be on until later this afternoon.
No go! I don't know where the heck, the var came from either! :( :cry: :cry: :cry: :D |
Where is this man thing they speak of?
Hmmmm...Sounds kinky! :D :scratch: Also....Why doesn't the Sourceforge link in Yast work for updating? I've tried it multiple times and have always had to result to using a server from Germany. |
man is a command that you type in command line .... you use to to get a man page or manual for whatever your searching for ...
when you fire up a terminal and type stuff like man ls man rm man fdisk or whatever you wish, it gives details on that command/program that you need info on, or need to know what different arguments that you can pass to the command/program.. |
Oh!
It still doesn't tell me why that var/tmp thing shows up. :( Leave it to me to have an unusual problem! It seems to be my lot in life. :jawa: |
Ok....is there another way to accomplish the same thing? Like a long version?
|
well when you tried both ways, one which i mentioned, and the one from the other thread that the guy used 3 different arguments, do you get the exact same error? anything different?
|
Yes.....as long as I'm supose to put it where you had the -o
No, nothing different |

Except I don't exactly know how to do nine and ten. I'm sure when I've done it once...I'll have no problem in the future. Other than that...it's more like a foreign tongue to me right now.

10) edit grub/lilo ------------------------------------- Ok. For 9 you need to do exactly as the command says. cp is for copying. So, it's just copying your kernel image from the /usr/src/whateverkernelyouhave/arch/i386/boot folder over to the /boot folder. For 10. you need to use a text editor like vi, or pico (l love pico). and make sure that down at the bottom where it says something like: image=/boot/bzImage label=Linux root=/dev/hda2 read-only you need to edit the image= part so that it points to the image you just created. In your case it would probably just say image=/boot/bzImage you also need to edit the root= part to make sure it points to your proper HD for the / (root) partition. Check out this thread too. It's a kernel compile for Slackware 2.4.23, but you can see the part at the bottom about editing lilo and such. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...threadid=49035 Peace, Whitehat |
This is what I have in my grub.conf file.
root (hd1,1) install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd0) /boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 (hd1,1)/boot/grub/menu.lst quit |
