Message-ID: <4B082663.2010905@w1an.in> Date: Sat, 21 Nov 2009 09:41:55 -0800 From: Balaji Ravindran <b@...n.in> To: Linux Kernel Mailing List <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: Kernel compilation Question Hi all, I tried compiling the wireless 2.6 kernel on my debian machine using make-kpkg and being lazy, i just did make defconfig, and saw that my compilation went fine without any issues, but i noticed that there was no ramdisk image that was generated when i installed the linux-image*.deb. i did use --initrd option, Was it because, using make defconfig compiles everything on the kernel itself? Aren't there any 'm' option in defaults?(dunno just asking if this is the case) or did i miss something out Please see if i missed some step Summary of steps performed. extracted wireless 2.6 source onto /usr/src created symbolic link make defconfig (i did not copy my existing config file to .config, i just wanted to try out make defconfig option) make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=foo --revision=bar kernel_image modules_image kernel_headers this created 2 files linux-image* and linux-headers*, i was missing the modules image also(but that was a second question) did dpkg -i linux-image* updated grub and placed files in /boot, but did not create initrd image. Why is that?
