I think this is what you need to do:
depmod 2.6.16.29-xen
mk_initrd -k /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen -i /boot/initrd-2.6-xen
(vmlinuz-2.6-xen is a symbolic link that "make install" should have
created for you)
(I am not sure if these steps are required for SLES10. I have had to do
them for SLES9)
mv /boot/initrd-2.6-xen /boot/initrd-2.6-xen.gz
gunzip /boot/initrd-2.6-xen.gz

Subject: [Xen-devel] mkinitrd fails on SLES10
Hi,
I compiled the Xen-unstable source using the instructions given in the
README on "SLES10 GMC". I used the following commands:
#make world
#make install
The next step was to create an initrd for Xen. I executed the following
commands and got the errors.
#depmod 2.6.16.29-xen
#mkinitrd -v -f --with=aacraid --with=sd_mod --with=scsi_mod
initrd-2.6.16-xen.img 2.6.16-xen
Unknown option: -v
Try mkinitrd -h
I understand that mkinitrd under SLES10 doesn''t have the -v and --with
options. I added the "aacraid, sd_mod, scsi_mod" to
"INITRD_MODULES"
section in "/etc/sysfconfig/kernel" and executed
#mkinitrd initrd-2.6.16.29-xen.img 2.6.16.29-xen
/sbin/mkinitrd: line 2965: initrd-2.6.16.29-xen.img/etc/fstab: No such
file or directory
No ''/'' mountpoint specified in
initrd-2.6.16.29-xen.img/etc/fstab
I could find two mails related to my problem but couldn''t find any
solution in the archives.
Can anyone help me in continuing my build of initrd for Xen on SLES10 or
point me in the right direction?
Thanks and regards,
Ashwin
