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.

Paul
