Still plugging away at migrating my RH9 laptop 2.4->2.6.
Latest issue is mkinitrd: "make install" failed with this complaint:
All of your loopback devices are in use.
mkinitrd failed
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 2
And *then* I read that I'm supposed to upgrade mkinitrd. Sigh, OK
break out the FC3 CD's and copy mkinitrd-4.1.18-2's rpm. Upgrade that,
find a dependency on lvm2. Well, bring that over too. Try to install
lvm2-2.00.25, find it has a dependency on... (drum roll)... kernel
2.6!!!
Which mkinitrd should I use? Or is this not my real problem?
Install mkinitrd, lvm2 and the kernel at the same time:
rpm -ivh mkinitrd*.rpm lvm2*.rpm kernel-whatever.i686.rpm
That will resolve the dependencies.
