Hi all,
 
I need yours advice on creating intramfs. 
 
At the starting, I try to compile the UME MID kernel by on my UME system (default kernel=2.6.24-18-lpia). I copy and paste the config.frame to the linux 2.6.24.2 source package that I extract it from a tarball. After set the DRM as a module(DRM=m) using make menuconfig, and then I do:
 
make oldconfig
make
make install modules_install 
 
After several times, it leaves (config-2.6.24.2, System.map-2.6.24.2 and the vmlinuz-2.6.24.2) but not initrd.img-2.6.24.2 in the boot directory. So, I edit the menu.lst as below:
 
title           Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24.2
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.24.2 ia ro boot=disk resume=/dev/sda3 ht=on quiet splash
initrd          /initrd.img-2.6.24-18-lpia
 
This is not correct right? It seems like this will load the old initrd.img-2.6.24-18-lpia kernel instead of initrd.img-2.6.24.2. Then I try 
# cd /boot
# mkinitramfs -r /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-18-lpia
 
 
 
With (lsmod) the drm is up but nothing attach to the drm.
 
 
Test setup as below:
Platform: Menlow
OS:UME MID 8.04 
Kernel Version: 2.6.24-18-lpia
X-SERVER: 1.4
 
Anybody can help?
 
 
 JoSe
