Subject: kernel-package: Despite passing --initrd option, no initrd-image was built. Package: kernel-package Version: 10.068 Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line *** Hi, I did the following in /usr/src. wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.21.1.tar.bz2 tar xjvf linux-2.6.21.1.tar.bz2 cd linux-2.6.21.1 cp /boot/config-2.6.20-1-686 . make menuconfig --> load /usr/src/config-2.6.20-1-686 ; enable DEBUG for HDI devices make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image --revision=pm.0 --rootcmd sudo sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.21.1_pm.0_i386.deb sudo shutdown -r now The linux kernel was displayed in GRUB, but did not fully boot, because it could not access the root filesystem. Looking in /boot/grub/menu.lst the entries for 2.6.21.1 did not have an initrd line and I did not find a corresponding image under /boot/ . Doing sudo update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.21.1 and editing /boot/grub/menu.lst gave me a bootable linux kernel. Did I do something wrong? Thanks.
