building a kernel in ubuntu 7.04

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello.

I try to build a new kernel in Ubuntu 7.04.
I did "make", "make modules_install", "make install" successfully.
now i did "update-grub".

In fedora, this would be enough.
But now in Ubuntu, I see that there is no new initrd.img.

and indeed i can't boot into the new kernel.

I get "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs...".

do anyone knows what to do ? is there a way to manually make
the initrd ?

thank you

(there are ubuntu wikis about building a custom kernel, but they have
weird commands, much different thatn the old way:
make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image
kernel_headers
dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.18.1-custom_2.6.18.1-custom-10.00.Custom_i386.deb
dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.18.1-custom_2.6.18.1-custom-10.00.Custom_i386.deb)
