Hi,
I have recompiled the linux 2.4.7-10 kernel to get ntfs readonly support.
this is what I entered in the lilo.conf in the fllowing order,
NEWLY COMPILED KERNEL IMAGE
OLD KERNEL IMAGE
WINDOWS
image=/boot/wmlinux-2.4.7-10
label=xunil
read-only
root=/dev/hda2
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10old
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.7-10.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda2
other=/dev/hda1
optional
label=windows
If you notice the first declaration of image the
"initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.7-10.img" is not present . Of course I removed it so that there would be no kernel panic and I am able to boot into the new kernel (xunil).
What I want to know is what is this .img file why is it required in the original kernel compilation and not in the newer .
Am I missing something here that could later on create problems.
All help will be gratefully ackd.
TIA,
Rohit
