Solving module based kernel panic

Tags:

I have just been through the process of creating a debian sarge 2.6.8 kernel to do netfiltering and have struck a couple of problems. the xconfig, make, make modules. make modules-install, make insall all worked fine.

first problem was that cd /boot, mkinitrd -o initrd.img.2.6.8 didn't actualy install the image in /boot and i had to aply the -k option, then manually compy the image overfrom /temp/mkinitrd*.

Fixed lilo.conf and ran lilo. all five options apear on boot, but if I select the new image, I receive an error about modules being missing, then kernel panic.

Looking for a clue stick on how to investigate and fix this.

T.I.A.
