Re: [Xen-devel] Mkinitramfs wants minimum 2.6.19 kernel!
Hi All,
Thanks for your answers. I filed a bug report to Ubuntu Feisty guys
and got this response:
From: scott@xxxxxxxxxx
Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2007 10:19:22 +0000
Subject: [Bug 89773] Re: Cannot Create initrd image for kernel < 2.6.19
To: erenoglu@xxxxxxxxxxx
This is correct.
We don't support booting feisty with kernels < 2.6.19
** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu)
Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected
--
Cannot Create initrd image for kernel < 2.6.19
https://launchpad.net/bugs/89773
So it seems Feisty is dead regarding Xen compilation from Source
(nevertheless, they have packages for Xen 3.0.3 or 3.0.4).
Can you guys suggest me another distro for having my base Dom0 on?
Maybe Gentoo, Fedora Core or Suse?
Jan, how can I implement your workaround? When I use bash -x I don't
see any file it greps. Here's the output:
emre@xen:~$ bash -x /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs

Usage: /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs [OPTION]... <-o outfile> [version]
Options:
-d confdir Specify an alternative configuration directory.
-k Keep temporary directory used to make the image.
-o outfile Write to outfile.
-r root Override ROOT setting in mkinitrd.conf.
See mkinitramfs(8) for further details.
+ exit 1
Thanks a lot,
Emre

do a bash -x of mkinitramfs, and alter the latest file it greps form to be
2.6.18, it just works after that

Perhaps switch to a distro not written by thirteen-year olds... I am
pretty disgusted at the level of 'integration' between many modern
distros and the Linux kernel. It used to be you could just drop in
whatever kernel you liked, but these days your system may not even boot
if you don't have a bleeding-edge kernel.
In other words, I would report this bug to Ubuntu or whoever wrote the
script.
Regards,
Jacob
