When making my own kernel, or even download yours kernel, after doing pacman -s kernel26ck, I am doing mkinitcpio -k linux-2.6.17-ck -g /boot/kernel26ck.img
Regarding your custom kernel, I'm going to assume that you've got the various files from CVS, and are building a modified kernel26ck. If you haven't made any changes to kernel26ck.install, the initcpio image is generated automatically on install - it is not necessary to do it independently. The same, of course, applies if you get the kernel26ck package with pacman. You should watch for the following post-install message:
>>> MKINITCPIO SETUP
>>> ----------------
>>> To switch to mkinitcpio ramdisk setup please change your bootloader config:
>>> - initrd26ck.img to kernel26ck.img
>>> More information about mkinitcpio setup can be found here:
>>> http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mkinitcpio
>>> Generating initial ramdisk, using mkinitcpio. Please wait...
>>> Generating fallback ramdisk, using mkinitcpio. Please wait...

You want to use "-k 2.6.17-ck". You do not need the "linux" prefix in there. It should mirror the $(uname -r) output on a system. Still, I guess that's an important error case to check. :oops:
what?
Can you please explain me?
I think he just did, EAD - what do you not understand?

]]>I've got a problem with this new version of the Beyond Kernel.
When I try to use suspend2, with the commande hibernate, everything seems to work fine.
But when I start the computer, it boots normally ( It doesn't load the suspend2 image ).
There is this strange message:
"Unable to find swap-space signature"
He is unable to mount the swap partition, and I need to run these commands to enable my swap: mkswap and swapon
I'm on a IBM T43 laptop, and suspend worker well before the update.
May the problem come from the new mkinitcpio ?
HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide sata filesystems"
Try re-arranging the order of your config to look like the one above as the hooks are executed in the exact order that they appear in the conf file.

In an open universe who needs windoze and gates?
I don't know why, but the current 2.6.16-beyond kernel runs slow on my 2.5ghz P4 !! is beyond kernel broken at the moment?
Edit: Nevermind I missed the latest update to Kernel26-beyond, now it's 2.6.17
thnx
]]>And thanks to you for spending your time maintaining package. Not all people needs -beyond (sorry, iphitus - you rocks too ).
lies! lies! lies! everyone needs beyond! you all know it!
beyond does everything kernel26ck does, and more! and you can turn off the more if you like less. :twisted: :twisted:
