Hello all,
Grabbed a new kernel (from kernel.org) to build a custom kernel
but it won't boot. I followed the directions at redhat to setup a box without
initrd (which I don't want and don't need to use). But the system hangs.
Has anyone built a custom kernel without using initrd? I'm using CentOS 4.2.
It hangs at or after "Freeing unused memory"
Thanks.
excerpt from the page:
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/udev/)
Udev without initrd
Install Fedore Core as usual and reboot. Execute the following commands
mkdir /tmp/dev
mount --move /dev /tmp/dev
sbin/MAKEDEV null console zero
mount --move /tmp/dev /dev
Install your kernel without an initrd. Reboot.
You will get some SELinux errors, and syslogd will not work as expected.
