I'm following Drozz's "how to compile a kernel -> newbie" guide and I get to this part:
-------------------
Next remove existing initrd.img file:
rm -rf /boot/initrd.x.x.x.img
..And create the new one:
/sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-x.x.x.img x.x.x
(Note: )
The last set of x.x.x is the eqivalent to your new kernel version and it looks to /lib/modules for that version.
------------------------------
when I put in the /sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-linux-2.4.22.img linux-2.4.22 I get an error that says
/sbin/mkinitrd Can't create temp dir, exiting
I just did a clean install of SuSE 8.2 and am trying to install the linux-2.4.22 kernel.
Any help, I'm at this point right now but afraid to proceed without correcting this issue first.
