Hello,

I've asked this before on debian-powerpc, to no avail. I am trying to build a 2.6.14-kernel for an iSeries, and I cannot figure out how to create an image with an initrd attached to it. What I've tried is:

make-kpkg --append-to-version test.1 kernel_image # works allright
dpkg -i /usr/src/linux-image-2.6.14....deb

The latter does not quite work. /etc/kernel/postinst.d/mkvmlinuz aborts since $bootloader evals to 'unknown'. If I force the execution of mkvmlinuz, it breaks pretty early in the script, because it cannot find dummy.o:
I am trying all of this within a sid chroot:
Any help would be appreciated.

Regards, Wolf

Hi wolf, you are welcome here, but you might have more luck with that question over here:

We still encourage an answer from the readers here, but over there some one from IBM may notice faster (at least we can tell them as we Moderate over there too!).
