Re: 2.6.14-smp kernel headers and sources

Hello All,

Well, there is good news and bad news.

The good news is that the compile went well although I did not know how to get the "make" commandline switches to SMP and i686 optizimations.

The bad news is that even though the kernel seems to boot ok on the main node, the other nodes do not seems to complete the booting properly and crash out after tftp send over the new kernel which I put into place via "ssi-ksync".

There was a document on the OpenSSI website that said to do:

# make oldconfig  		(by using the .config that was previously set up)
# make dep        		(the compile reported that this was unnecessary now)
# make bzImage    		(this went fine)
# make modules    		(this went fine)
# make modules_install    	(this went fine)

# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.14_ssi  (this went well)

# mkinitrd --cfs /boot/initrd-2.6.14_ssi.img  2.6.14__ssi   (PROBLEMS HERE: /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: unrecognized option `--cfs')

Instead, I did:

# mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd-2.6.14_ssi.img  2.6.14__ssi  (since I did this in the install and it went well)

But still the other nodes do not seem to come online.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks and have a great day,
