Modules at initramfs are used for booting the system. If you use LVM, Software RAID, encryption or a disk controller that is not supported without a module, all those features require modules that need to be loaded before mounting the root partition. Those modules are in the initramfs. Modules at /lib/modules/<kernel version> can be loaded when you plug new hardware like a webcam or a pendrive. > > > > > On Wed, Jun 13, 2012 at 11:18 PM, Mulyadi Santosa > <mulyadi.santosa@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> On Wed, Jun 13, 2012 at 5:33 PM, beyond.hack <beyond.hack@xxxxxxxxx> >> wrote: >> > hello experts,, >> > I am on Fedora 16 and My current kernel is as per the uname -r output >> > is 3.1.0-7.fc16.i686.PAE >> > >> > I am compiling a kernel 3.4.1 and after the compilation the bzimage and >> > initramfs are successfully generated.. >> > then doing a >> > #make install >> > is giving error like this:: >> > >> > sh-4.2# make install >> > sh /usr/local/src/linux-3.4.1/arch/x86/boot/install.sh 3.4.1 >> > arch/x86/boot/bzImage \ >> > System.map "/boot" >> > WARNING: Couldn't open directory /lib/modules/3.4.1: No such file or >> > directory >> >> maybe you forgot to do "make modules" followed by "make >> modules_install" after generating kernel image? >> >> -- >> regards, >> >> Mulyadi Santosa >> Freelance Linux trainer and consultant >> >> blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com >> training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com > > > > _______________________________________________ > Kernelnewbies mailing list > Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies > -- Peter Senna Tschudin peter.senna@xxxxxxxxx gpg id: 48274C36 _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
