The install.sh script calls /sbin/installkernel, which is usually provided by the distribution vendor. It may make assumptions about how the kernel was configured and built. If you are building an unsupported kernel, it is better not to use 'make install'. > I'm not yet clear if (1) in Linux culture no real > programmer follows the `make help` hint to try `make > install`, (2) if `make install` actually has a bug > here, (3) or if indeed I am misusing `make install`. I agree with (1) and (3) :) To me, it looks like a bug in 'mkinitrd'. Hope this helps, Ravi. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
