Hello,
I am back building LiveCDs with my custom kernel
My kernel rpm is called 2.6.14EPIAIX-1, when it installs it
makes /lib/modules/2.6.14EPIAIX
mkinitrd is choking on this name difference at the end of the build
/home/tony/tmp/livecd-build_no14/system/lib/modules/2.6.14EPIAIX-1 is
not a directory.
*** Fatal error: /usr/local/share/kadischi/livecd-mkinitrd.sh
returned non zero (256) exit code. Aborting execution.
I don't know where this naming difference comes from. The kernel runs
just fine on my machine and has done so for quite some time...
Any pointers ideas greatly appreciated
Tony

Hi there,
I think you have made a mistake while you were building rpm for your custom
kernel.
Modules should be placed in /lib/modules/{kernel_version}-{kernel_release}
(for example /lib/modules/2.6.14-1.1635_FC5) and not
in /lib/modules/{kernel_version} like in your case.
Kadischi resolves kernel version (2.6.14EPIAIX) and release number (1) out of
the rpm database. It expects to find your modules
in /lib/modules/2.6.14EPIAIX-1 and they are not there.
The best thing to do would be rebuilding kernel rpm with these problems fixed,
but if you want a fast&dirty way out, you can try to hardcode kernel version
variable in livecd-mkinitrd.sh (line 105: kernel="2.6.14EPIAIX").
Good luck :)

%define KVERREL %{PACKAGE_VERSION}-%{PACKAGE_RELEASE}
I have just changed _FC4 with _EPIAIX. All other modifications are just
patches for VIA sensors and other VIA specific stuff.

OK thanks. This is only a test version for personal use for the moment.
PS good to see you back =:-D
Cheers

Nope mkinitrd is smarter than that - it fails the same way

I have built a custom kernel, installed it on my machine and it runs (2
months now). But I do not understand the naming procedure of custom
kernels...
Where is kernel name really specified? What file must I edit? I have
been modifying Makefile and kernel.spec
TIA
