Hi Richard.
I had a kernel patch and i need to test in the latest kernel.
Before that i am trying to bring the kernel 2.6.x up and running.
That is all i want to do.
By the way
vmlinux -- is the kernel
vmlinuz --- is the boot sector.
Why initrd is needed ?
While mkinitrd, I am getting the error /dev/mapper not found, But
still it makes the initrd image.
Thanks
Amrith
