loading 2.4.31 kernal on FC4 distro
I installed FC4 on one of two harddrives (the other has XP).
This distro works fine but I need a 2.4 kernel running because the SDK I will be using requires kernel 2.4.
So I can compile (after several patches) 2.4.31 but when the kernel loads its states
that it cannot not find "init". I used "make install" and it creates /tmp/initrd.img.xxxx. with an error stating that "Permission denied". But I tried to use it anyway.
My grub.conf now looks like:
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img
title Fedora Core 2.4.31
root(hd0,0)
kernel /bzImage root=/dev/hdc1
initrd /initrd.img.q10481
I tried changing "/dev/hdc1" to "/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet" but that
made matters worse.
I was guess it had something to do with the make menuconfig.
Enabling ext3 journel does help.
I disabled Module support because that caused many compile errors.
If anybody has a solution for kernel 2.4 on FC4 it would be appreciated.
