Hi, I am trying to use lvmcreate_initrd to make an initrd for a kernel different than the one which is running (to be more precise, I have a running redhat 9 and I am doing lvmcreate_initrd chrooted in a gentoo). Thus I run $ lvmcreate_initrd 2.4.24 When lvmcreate_initrd runs depmod, it runs $ depmod -a 2.4.24 depmod echoes a lot of errors message because there are a lot of unresolved symbols (because the running kernel isn't the kernel I run depmod for). The exit status is 0, though and the initrd is created. The right depmod invocation should (if I'm not wrong) be: $ depmod -a 2.4.24 -F /usr/src/linux-2.4.24/System.map Is this a problem (depmod having unresolved symbols) ? (there is a comment in the lvmcreate_initrd code which seems to imply that it is not a problem, but I am not sure) If yes, I think a new option should be added to lvmcreate_initrd, for the System.map location. If no, this should be stated in the man page. I can do diffs if you want.
