Hi.
Have a box in a datacentre that wont boot past the initrd. Have booted
it with a knoppix cd, chrooted and tried to install a kernel - it hangs
calling mkinitramfs-kpkg. If I run mkinitramfs with sh -x i see it
hanging on:
modprobe --set-version=2.6.26-1-686 --ignore-install --show-depends
ehci-hcd awk '/^insmod/ { print $2 }'
It also does this when trying generate an initrd for one of the
installed, previously working kernels.
I dont really know enough about initrds to troubleshoot this further -
could anyone offer any suggestions?
Cheers
