For debian users: I must say that make-kpkg
doesn't generate initrd
(--initrd option) with linux-2.6.29.2 sources so I had to create one with
update-initramfs and then add the following line to menu.lst in
/boot/grub
dir.
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.29.2-rt10
I am currently switching to 2.6.29.2-rt11.
This is caused by a recent update of the make-kpkg package. Have a look
at /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/NEWS.Debian.gz and the updated
/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz:
"Also, make sure you have configured /etc/kernel-img.conf and also
/etc/kernel/*.d by dropping in the correct scripts there. (symlink
creation, initramfs generation, running boot loaders, etc)"
The good thing about this change is that you now can skip the 'make-kpkg
clean' part after having reconfigured your kernel. Just remove the
debian sub-directory and enjoy the fact that, finally, make can be used
as it is supposed to.
By the way, I also followed the 2.6.29 line and just built 2.6.29.2-rt10
myself. I have to switch off wireless LAN but apart from that it works
really well.
