mkinitrd suggestion / ext4 support in generic kernel question
I sent this to Patrick, but figured I could ask the ext4 question here: Why isn't ext4 fs support included in the generic kernel? How much overhead would it add?
Quote:
Minor suggestion...
I switched from the huge to generic kernel, forgetting generic doesn't have ext4 support.
So after I got back in :), I ran mkinitrd to create a RD image. mkinitrd ran fine and exited with a message to re-run lilo if I use the newly created image...
but didn't remind me to edit lilo.conf to use the new RD image.
In my mind, if it's worth it to mention to users to re-run lilo, it's also worth mentioning to add the appropro "initrd =" to lilo.conf,
or add ext4 support to the generic kernel :).
