i understand that, but make-kpkg is supposed to (and always has in the past) taken care of that for me. > Save yourself the headache and compile support for IDE and ext2fs into > your kernel! further they are compiled into the kernel and it still doesn't work: heyzeus(larry)$ egrep "INITRD|(EXT(2|3))" /boot/config-2.4.16 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y hrm, okay IDE was a module. i'm recompiling now. i don't think it's gonna make a difference though because grub should be able to access the disk enough to read the initrd file and load the modules. or maybe i'm dumb. adam.
