Hello List
I had earlier reported some compilation errors on
2.6.3 kernel.This was after applying the patch :
"packet-2.6.3.patch " to enable packet writing for
CD-RW.Since then I managed to rectify thoseerrors.I
recompiled and followed the detailed tips posted in
this list.All steps got through correctly but "make
install" failed with the message :
1)Could not load
/lib/modules/2.6.3-2.1.204/unsupported/fs/hfs/hfs.ko
2)Could not load
/lib/modules/2.6.3-2.1.204custom/modules.dep :No such
file or directory ' mkinitrd failed' .Next I copied
the 'bzImage' generated successfully to /boot and
renamed it as vmlinuz-2.6.3-udf to indicate that the
image is packet-writing enabled for CD-RW.
However, on booting the new kernel image I found that
all the modules are missing.The old image is also
giving the same errors.
I know that I have messed up my FC1 system. I think
that it has something to do with 2.6.3-2.1.204custom
directory which is being searched but is
non-existent.Hence I removed the word custom from
EXTRAVERSION=2.6.3-2.1.204custom line in the top
level Makefile.
This does not get my system back to the old state.
I request for urgent help in restoration of my
system.Could some one respond please?
Thanks
Murali
