Linux bootp 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 #1 Tue Aug 8 15:30:55 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I cannot get mkinitrd to work. It only responds with the --help list,
seeming to say that my syntax is wrong.
I am attempting to include usb-storage
I am running as root from /root
[root@bootp ~]# mkinitrd preload=ehci-hcd preload=usb-storage preload=scsi_mod preload=sd_mod /boot/initrd_usb.img 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5
usage: mkinitrd [--version] [--help] [-v] [-f] [--preload <module>]
[--force-ide-probe] [--force-scsi-probe | --omit-scsi-modules]
[--image-version] [--force-scsi-probe | --omit-raid-modules]
[--with=<module>] [--force-lvm-probe | --omit-lvm-modules]
[--builtin=<module>] [--omit-dmraid]
[--fstab=<fstab>] [--nocompress] <initrd-image> <kernel-version>
(ex: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.5-15.img 2.2.5-15)
[root@bootp ~]#
and no new .img in /boot:
[root@bootp ~]# ls -l /boot/*img*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1058886 Aug 17 2006 /boot/initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1081430 Aug 21 2006 /boot/initrd-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7006019 Dec 21 2006 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-386
my experience running mkinitrd is meager, but this just looks broken.
maybe fc5 is just too old? I saw lots of mkinitrd bugs "wont fix" by googling.
but this lack of any response except the help pkg
tells me I am doing something basically wrong.
I get same result using \ to breakup the command into two lines
thanks for any help
