creat image for the new kernel

pradeepreddy · #1 (**permalink**) 04-24-2009

Hello friends,

I have compiled the kernel .
But now i am facing the problem as to how we can create the initrd.img for the specific kernel.

I was compiling the 2.6.29 kernel.

to create initrd.img for 2.6.29

what i did is :

cd /boot
mkinitramfs-kpkg -o initrd.img-2.6.29 2.6.29
edited the entried in /boot/grub/menu.lst

Is it all what we have to do or something else.

I installed kernel-package and use make-kpkg --initrd --rootcmd fakeroot kernel_image. No need to do anything else.

I found this howto to be pretty ok.
Yet if you use grub, you can ignore the 'lilo' part. Also don't edit the menu.lst by hand (as it states itself) but instead run:

Code:

update-grub
