Help with mkinitrd

paddyjoy · 06-30-2005, 10:38 PM

I'm trying to make an initrd file for my kernel (fedora core 3) with the command

Code:

mkinitrd  /boot/initrd-2.6.11 2.6.11

but I keep getting the error

Code:

No dep file found for kernel 2.6.11

Anyone have any ideas what this could be?

I have tried running

Code:

make dep

but it says

Code:

*** Warning: make dep is unnecessary now.

I may be wrong, but I believe "make dep" isn't necessary on 2.6 kernels.

Ok I figured it out.

Just needed to run

Code:

depmod 2.6.11

which created the file

Code:

/lib/modules/2.6.ll/modules.dep
