[Voyage-linux] Re: Kernel compilation problems on 0.6.5 version (Gustin Johnson)

[Jeremiah Pattison]

I had problems with compiling kernel 6.5 as well.  The init ramdisk fs was not being created by the kernel package install.  I fixed the issue by using the kernel configuration file  included in the /boot directory of a typical 6.5 voyage install, and then manually created the initial ramdisk with the 'mkinitrd' utility, manually installed it on my target platform and updated grub menu file.  This was a total hack but I was in a rush.  Not good for the future.  I think the problem was in versioning and I'm interested in a proper fix.

I was confused as to which kernel config file to use from the voyage repository as there was none marked for the 6.5 source.  My issue may have been a version labeling problem since I used the 7.0 voyage kernel config for 6.5 soucre release.  (But is was the only 2.6.30 kernel config available.)
