Hi, maybe somebody can help me in this:
I recently compiled the 2.4.25 linux kernel (downloaded from kernel.org) on Debian Woody 2.0r3 (kernel 2.4) (all from stable branch) because I need support for some SCSI controller that is not build on the 2.4 stable kernel (2.4.18-1).
Everything works well if I put all I need on the kernel, but if I try to use modules, I find some problems:
- The initrd image could not be read correctly ("cramfs: bad magic" is the message I get)
- "The System.map file is not appropriate to the kernel" claims ps(1).
- I get "unresolve symbol" messages when I try to insert modules.
I guess all this could be caused by incompatibility between the kernel and the rest of the utilities needed for compilation, initrd generation, etc. Is this possible? Or I should look for other explanation?
How did you build your kernel? Did you build and install the initial ramdisk (if necessary) for your new kernel?
The usual (as far as I know) way.
make menuconfig make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install
Then mkinitrd -o <initrd.img> /lib/modules/<new_modules_dir>
After that I copied the System.map and initrd.img to the /boot dir.
Finally I boot using grub.
