ok, i see i must not use mkinitrd, but mkinitramfs does not generate an initrd image for 2.6.17. you said you removed the source package. I installed the binary image. and the initrd image does not get created for it by mkinitramfs
so is feisty ONLY going to work with 2.6.20+ and also the 2.6.17 binaries should go ? I currently have a prob with 2.6.20 that i hope will get fixed in the kernel tree https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/84018 -- [feisty] kernel 2.6.17 in feisty repository cannot boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/84238 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
