I need support for intel e1000e network adapters finally introduced with kernel 2.6.24. So I compiled a 2.6.24.4 kernel for udpcast. I created a initrd for PXE boot. Kernel and initrd are loaded and the computers start to boot but they always hang after a while throwing the message init: can't open "/dev/null": no such file or directory

The problem also occurs on my VMware testing machine.

I used the 2.6.23.12 kernel configuration from the udpcast homepage with the suggested changes for the new parts of the kernel.

My current workarround is a back-port of e1000e support from 2.6.24.4 to 2.6.23.12. But I would prefer to use kernel 2.4.24

Is there anybody out there with a running 2.6.24 based udpcast?

Best regards

Matthias
