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?

Re: kernel26ck - moving to 2.6.17-ck1
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...phrakture wrote:EAD wrote:mkinitcpio -k linux-2.6.17-ck -g /boot/kernel26ck.img

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.

Re: kernel26ck - moving to 2.6.17-ck1
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.

Re: kernel26ck - moving to 2.6.17-ck1
Yes, it is true. Arch stock kernel contains this option, yet and is only used when apm=power-off.
