I am evaluating (and learning) how to create Disaster Recovery (Bare Metal) Systems. One of the packages I'm evaluating say's I need a kernel with ramdisk support, checking the On Line Support seems to suggest a number of problems with 10.3 Boot Disks. My Systems are 10.3 32bit. What do I need to do to include ramdisk support in the kernel...? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Configure it for init ramdisk support and recompile it. But I think I can safely say that a 10.3 system has init ramdisk support. Same goes for the installation system. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It seems that the package that is evaluated doesn't know where to look for ramdisk, or iti si asking for more than currently configured: ~> grep -e BLK_DEV_RAM /boot/config-2.6.22.17-0.1-default CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=m CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_COUNT=16 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=64000 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_BLOCKSIZE=1024 ~> grep -e INIT /boot/config-2.6.22.17-0.1-default CONFIG_INIT_ENV_ARG_LIMIT=32 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="" CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD=y CONFIG_SCSI_INITIO=m CONFIG_SOUND_TRACEINIT=y -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
