[Bug 199934] Re: Kernel Panic, in gdth (RAID) driver on reboot

[Mike Bianchi]

I'm trying to test if the gdth SCSI disk controller still dumps at the end
of  /sbin/poweroff  or  /sbin/reboot .

I don't routinely compile kernels but I have been successful in the past,
so I thought I would try.

I have built the 2.6.24.2 kernel:
	cp /boot/config-2.6.24-19-generic /usr/src/linux-2.6.24.2/.config

	make all
	make install
	make modules-intstall

and got
	/boot/System.map-2.6.24.2
	/boot/config-2.6.24.2
	/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24.2


But I don't think I built the initramfs properly.  I used 
	update-initramfs -c  -k 2.6.24.2
to create
	/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24.2

But the results look _very_big_ when compared to the others:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  7907485 2008-08-13 14:56 initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 49159103 2008-08-16 16:30 initrd.img-2.6.24.2


(hd0,5) is a SCSI disk
from /boot/grub/menu.lst

	title           Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24.2  Hardy
	root            (hd0,5)
	kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24.2		\
		root=UUID=c3bf9923-8fd9-45fe-9c7d-929644751f79 ro vga=791
	initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24.2
	quiet
	savedefault


And when I start the kernel, I see Grub flash   Starting Up
and then nothing;  no image, no disk rattle.


Does anyone see what I'm missing?
