how to create .img after kernel has compilled?
Dear All,
I am using FC3 with 2.6.9-1.667. I wanted to have 2.4 kernel in the same system as dual kernel mode and so i have downloaded, compiled and crearted vmlinuz2.4.32(compiled kernel) at /boot. now the problem is at LILO. this LILO asked for 3 matters like ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /* Content of my LILO /etc/lilo.conf.anaconda */ prompt timeout=20 default=linux boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b linear image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 label=linux initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img read-only append="rhgb quiet root=LABEL=/" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ now i have this image, label but i don't know how to create *.img file. my friends sugested to use mkinitrd. but i have tried but failed even i have gone thru man and info pages. Could you please tell me how to create initrd-2.4.32.img to be used at initrd= value. |
Don't know why you want a 2.4 kernel in a 2.6 kernel based disto, but the way Red Hat /Fedora suggests kernel building is;
make mrproper make xconfig make make modules_install make install <-- perhaps you forgot this step The 'make install' takes care of the file copying / renaming and bootloader entry, see step 11 from the link below; http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/l...dularized.html |
