Hi,
I've compiled a new version of the kernel using 'make rpm', however I am
nervous about rebooting, as the rpm -i did not create an initrd file.
What is the best way to create one? I've run man initrd but it only
spoke of initrd in the context of a device, rather than the creation of
the file itself.
Any help would be very appreciated.
cd /boot
mkinitrd -v initrd-kernelversion.img kernelversion
replacing "kernelversion" with the actual version of the NEW kernel,
e.g.
mkinitrd -v initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.img 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl
