| |
Hi,
I am compiling the 2.6.14-7 kernel (from kernel.org) on Linux 2.4.20-8 i386 PC. I have used the following commands to build the kernel:- make menuconfig, make, make install, make modules_install.
But, when "make modules_install" runs, and after creating ".ko" modules, I get the depmod errors. Below is the partial error log:
>>>>>>>>> #make modules_install
depmod: fat_alloc_new_dir depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.6.14.7/kernel/fs/nfs/nfs.ko ....... ....... depmod: qword_addhex depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.6.14.7/kernel/fs/vfat/vfat.ko ....... ....... <<<<<<<<
If I try to boot the newly built kernel, I get the following set of errors:
>>>>>>>> Mounting root filesystem mount: error 19 mounting ext3 pivotroot: pivot_root (/sysroot, /sysroot/initrd) failed: 2 umount /initrd/proc failed: 2 Freeing unused kernel memory: 236k freed Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. <<<<<<<<<
Since I am using pretty old kernel (2.4.20-8), do I need to apply any patches before building 2.6? Also, I tried with the latest version of "module-init-tools", but it didn't help.
Can somebody help me in this regard?
