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?

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...

Re: kernel26ck - moving to 2.6.17-ck1

Can you add to kernel CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF? My laptop doesnt off correctly without this choice. Thanks

As long as it doesn't conflict with anything else, I'll add it for the next kernel26ck build.

This change would only affect APM users. But I believe it will break shutdown for all APM users for whom it currently works. I am however not sure of this.

Re: kernel26ck - moving to 2.6.17-ck1

I think that this options is only used when the kernel boot line contains apm=powef-off.

Yes, it is true. Arch stock kernel contains this option, yet and is only used when apm=power-off.
