[SOLVED] Find name of my compiled kernel

tpalmerstudios · 02-07-2016, 04:19 PM

I just compiled a kernel with a patch for wacom tablet access. I need to make an initial ram disk. Don't worry I don't even know what that is. In the ArchWiki it says to do this command

Code:

mkinitcpio -k FullKernelName -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-YourKernelName.img

The problem is, I don't know the name of my kernel. Any ideas...?

Code:

ls /lib/modules

will list out all kernels. Solution: figure out which one is yours. There should only be two for a normal user. (And remember in the config next time... name it something memorable.)
