From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040808 Firefox/0.9.3 Description of problem: When building a custom 2.4.x kernel based distro, its modules aren't correctly packaged in the installer images (initrd.img). The installer tries to find (*.ko) to package the modules, even though you can specify a 2.4 kernel in mk-images and such. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-10.0-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a custom 2.4 kernel based distro. 2. Use buildinstall or mk-images to build the distro's images. 3. Check initrd.img to see there are no modules. Actual Results: The images where not created with all the corresponding modules. Expected Results: Anaconda should ask, in its scripts, for the kernel version number. If 2.6, then use the .ko suffix. If 2.4, use .o. Additional info: For example, in mk-images: findmodule () { if [ ! -f $CACHE ]; then find $KERNELROOT/lib/modules/ > $CACHE fi grep "/$1\.ko" $CACHE }
There are a lot of other things that won't work with that anaconda and a 2.4 kernel as well. 2.6 kernel or higher is required for it.
