I built a custom MPC875 board and have figured out how to get U-Boot to compile and run. Then I learned to compile an initial Linux 2.4.25 using the ELDK with a basic root filesystem via the "SELF" included in the ELDK (thank you WD and others). Now I want to build a new root filesystem with the modules included. So then I have used the "make modules" and "make ... modules_install" commands plus used the procedure in the DULG section 9.6 to unpack the ramdisk image and mount it in the /mnt/tmp/ directory. That is point where I do not know what to do next. It would seem that I need to merge the modules and other items I may want to add (for example appWeb) with the simple root filesystem and re-compress it for use just like the original ramdisk image. I just do not seem to find any information on this process either in the DULG or anywhere else on the web. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mike Boutte
