ramdisk creation

after compiling kernel 2.6.26.5 in suse 11 which is having 2.6.25 version, I did make install.
It asks for creating a ramdisk for it.
Please let me know , How to creat ramdisk ?

Hi,

Use mkinitrd.

You might have to tweak the value of the variable INITRD_MODULES in /etc/sysconfig/kernel file.

Regards.

It’s probably asking for the “initial ramdisk”, or initrd.
There’s the command mkinitrd for creating it, but the easiest
way is to do “make modules_install install” in the kernel source
tree.
