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.

I reinstalled all the udpcast stuff via rpm. Are you using the 20051223-1 version to make the version you have?
I reran the command again, and I continue to get the kernel panic error.
I am running: genromfs 0.5.1 syslinux 3.11 glibc 2.3.5 perl 5.8.7
I am able to load the image you sent, it doesn't seem to have the eepro100 module, as it isn't able to load it, but it can mount the filesystem and boot.
Any other suggestions? I can send you a copy of the image I generated. I really appreciate your help, this is very frustrating as this tool is perfect for what we would like to impliment it as and I've been working at it for days now.
Thanks again!
