Hello,

for default is in the initrd only what is needed for boot, i mean you haven't your root filesystem as amigafs. This module can be later.

Yes, i need the amiga partition only for working, but: Does the suse kernel handle amgiga partitioned disks? The option for this had been deactivated in the kernel-config in my fresh installed system.

...

i compile my kernel with "make rpm" then i install the rpm, cd /boot rpm? and create the initrd only with "mkinitrd -k vmlinuz -i initrd" then already the rootfilesystem and the bootsplash is in initrd.

Hello,

while trying to built my first own kernel I've got a problem. Maybe it's more simple for this mailing-list.

Simple tech-stats of system: OpenSuse 10.0 with Update to 2006-01-31

After configuring kernel-plan (I need additionally to handle amiga and apple harddiscs on i386 system and added under "partition types" -> "amiga partitioning" or so) I compiled the kernel and modules. This steps created also an addtional directory /lib/modules/2.6.13amgia-15.7.default. Then I copied the kernel-file vmlinuz.bin from /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/ to / boot/. Due to the entry amiga in Makefile the above mentioned modules directory resulted. After adding the kernel via yast in grub with origin initrd-file the first start with new kernel failed.Trying to create a new initrd via

mkinitrd -i initrd-amigardb -k vmlinuz-2.6.13amiga-15.7-default -m "via82cxxx tmscsim processor thermal fan affs"

the system replied:

Root device: /dev/hda3 (mounted on / as ext2) Module list: via82cxxx tmscsim processor thermal fan affs

Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.13amiga-15.7-default Initrd image: /boot/initrd-amigardb No modules found for kernel

What does the system need?

If more information needed, feel free to ask.

Yes you must recompile the kernel,

zcat /proc/config.gz | grep AMIGA

Useless use of zcat :-) $> zgrep AMIGA /proc/config.gz

If you need only an additional driver for AMIGA file system support and this driver can be implemented as a module, then there is no need to build an entire new kernel! Just use $> make modules SUBDIRS=fs/affs in the directory with the kernel source to build the affs.ko kernel module which can then be installed with the following command: $> make modules_install SUBDIRS=fs/affs If you need to compile the module not for the currently running kernel but for another one or if you use a build directory or <...>, you need to be a bit careful. Nevertheless, the principle should be the same. If an additional feature cannot be implemented as a module, then of course you can't use the approach described here.

...

[...] rpm -e --justdb kernel-default [...]

YaST online update might not like something like that...

And, by the way, I think one does not really need something like an ACPI fan driver (fan) etc. etc. in an initial ramdisk :-)

Cheers, Th.
