iPod / Amarok / Buffer I/O Issues

[scoultas]

I followed Ylan's instructions for compiling a new kernel.



Unfortunately, my system has a problem where when a new kernel is
installed, it results in a kernel panic.  For previous kernel
additions, this meant I added a line :



initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-23-k7



to my /boot/grub/menu.lst, which stopped the panic error.



In this case, I added a similar line to my custom kernel - now,
normally, I have an initrd that matches the new kernel, but in this
instance no new initrd.img file was available, so I presumed the above
entry, /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-23-k7, was still good even though my new
kernel is called 2.6.15-23-k7-ipod.



When I attempted to boot up, I got : 



Warning : Couldn't open /lib/modules/2.6.15-23-k7-ipod : no such file
or directory

Fatal : /lib/modules/2.6.15-23-k7-ipod/modules.dep.temp could not be
opened for writing.



I checked, and I do have /lib/modules/2.6.15-23-k7-ipod as a
directory.



I can't seem to get past this point now - any ideas?
