also make sure that you have the /sbin/fbset and /etc/fb.modes files. there's probably also a library file needed. i'm not sure or i just forgot.
to modify your initrd file, you must first extract it to a directory:
Code:
cd /boot
mkdir initrddir
cd initrddir
zcat ../initrd.img | while cpio -i; do :; done
after you make changes, save your new initrd:
Code:
for a in `ls | sort`; do
find $a | sort | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -9 -c >> ../newinitrd.img
done
the problem here is that you'll always have to modify your initrd everytime you compile your modules
Edit: better use '/sbin/fbset 1024-768-60' than 'fbset 1024-768-60'. |
Hi konsolebox, i am not able to modify my initrd image. Where is what I get if I try to mount it.
Code:
root@debian:/boot/initrddir# zcat ../initrd.img-2.6.13 | while cpio -i; do :; done
zcat: ../initrd.img-2.6.13: not in gzip format
cpio: premature end of archive
root@debian:/boot/initrddir#
I think my initrd image is a Cramfs type, because this is what I get if I try to get infomation about my initrd image:
Code:
root@debian:~# file -z /boot/initrd.img-2.6.13 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.13:
Linux Compressed ROM File System data,
little endian size 1372160 version #2
sorted_dirs CRC 0x30bc9195, edition 0, 879 blocks, 123 files
root@debian:~#
I even started a thread
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ghlight=initrd for this before hand, but no one has been able to help till now. My only hope lies with you.
