mkinitrd

[linuxgizmo]

i successfully installed my rpm kernel as per instructions (Howtoforge,compile kernel the mandriva way) now im in the stage of creating a ramdisk for newly installed kernel, but when i excute the command mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.31.5-default-1mnb.img 2.6.31.5-default, it gives a message saying "no modules available for kernel "2.6.31.5-default",

im using Mandriva 2010, please help me im stuck, thanks in advance

Whats the result of:

ls -al /lib/modules

[linuxgizmo]

these are the result,

2.6.31.5-1mnbcustom-default/ 2.6.31.5-server-1mnb/

Thanks for the reply

Then your command should be

mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.31.5-default-1mnb.img 2.6.31.5-1mnbcustom-default

or

mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.31.5-default-1mnb.img 2.6.31.5-server-1mnb
