Any suggestions or readings would be of help.
I too decided to play with 2.6 for the day, though I got frustrated and stopped. Anyone know what the deal with the new modules is? Based on some browsing of newsgroups via google, it seems that a new module loader is needed? (I'm using the one shipped with RH8). Anyways, I went and got the latest/greatest non-development version of the module loader. modules.conf has been replaced with modprobe.conf, and modprobe.devfs. Haven't quite figured out these things yet. Anyways, I've been getting module dependency errors and they refuse to load when I boot the new kernel.... still investigating it though, to figure out what's going wrong. As for initrd, I found that it's mostly used for scsi systems. Atleast it's true in my case. I needed to pack up the the scsi board module into the initrd image. After a while, I found the whole process of initrd creation to be annoying, and just compiled the scsi driver into the kernel itself, and did a regular boot without initrd. -Jing -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
