So now I am running "/lib/udpcast/makeImage -i initrd -k vmlinuz-2.6.14.4udpcast -m ntfs cramfs eepro100 nls ide --cpio --bzip" which makes a considerably smaller image, but it comes up with "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)"
Weird. I used the exact same command line as you used (except for the path of makeImage and the kernel, and got a working initrd). I attached it to this mail...
Am I missing a required module?
No, everything seems to be complete.
Am I doing this entirely wrong?
No, the command line looks correct. As said, I used the same, and got a bootable image.
I am building these on a machine thats running a 2.4 kernel, should that matter?
The running kernel should not normally matter.
Sorry about all the questions, but so far my only luck on booting this is by using the Cast-o-matic images, which don't allow for pre and post scripts.
This will be provided in one of the next versions.
Thanks for your continued assistance.
