2.6.28 Kernel Build fails on INITRD: WARNING: no dependencie

Hi Everyone,

Im trying to build a new kernel so i can get EXT4 support.
Basically i followed the directions here: Running / Using ext4 on openSUSE 11.1 | Ben Kevan’s Blog

But I performed “make x86_64_defconfig rpm && make modules && make modules_install” instead of “make rpm”

When i run mkinitrd (same results if I do a plain mkinitrd also) i get the following errors:


linux-ornb:/usr/src/linux-2.6.28.7 # mkinitrd -k vmlinuz-2.6.28.7 -i initrd-2.6.28.7

Is ext4 in the 2.6.28 kernel, and not in 2.6.29? You could add the Kernel:HEAD repo and run 2.6.29, which means you don’t have to compile the kernel yourself

does not make sense of the last reply. if needed, the we built customized kernel for the development or testing. not much following the last statement - don’t have to build our own kernel?>:(
