Re: new kernel problems with pcmcia and initrd

I have already read this document. Sorry for the confusion. I am trying to mount my partition completely read only so that I can one day burn it to a cd. I was under the impression I had to use initrd to have the root filesystem boot onto a ram drive. If there is a another way to make a system

new kernel problems with pcmcia and initrd

I just recompiled my kernel and the PCMCIA does not appear to be loading. It is important that I use initrd for the root file system and that PCMCIA be built into the kernel instead of module since it is a laptop and the nic is not onboard. Where have I missed my PCMCIA step and how do I set it up

New kernel problems

I'm using slink, and need to recompile the kernel. This is on a computer where LILO won't install, so I have to boot off a floppy. Ran 'make menuconfig', and double-checked that "Second extended fs support" was not compiled as a module. In the Makefile, I set : ROOT_DEV = /dev/hdb3 Ran make-kpk
