For the past 2 weeks I have been trying to compile and install a new vanilla
kernel (v2.6.39.2) on my debian and ubuntu vmware machines. But it is failing due
to some problem related to initramfs. After compiling and installing the kernel and modules
I am trying to create the initramfs image by using the command
"update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.39.2".
The command executes successfully and creates an initramfs image. However
on booting the new kernel an error occurs and it takes me to the initramfs prompt.
I tried it first on debian virtual machine and then on ubuntu virtual machine but failed
on both.
For building and installing the kernel I am NOT using any distribution-specific tools.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
