I was recommended to try the 2.6.19-git kernel since the kernels since 2.6.15.6 that I've build from kernel.org do not work with the sata_via. All the kernels from 2.6.18.3 and below have worked with the makecd script that was created by the previous project manager. The 2.6.19 git and released kernel required me to modify the script to use a 4096 byte block size instead of the default 1024 bytes. Problem is, that the earlier computers don't mount with the 4K, but the 2.6.19 don't work with the 1K size. It goes all the way thru, but they fail with trying to mount the /. Only difference in the scripts Using 4K for 2.6.19 kernels < mke2fs -m 0 -b 4096 -N 4000 /dev/loop0 - --- Using 1K default for all earlier kernels. > mke2fs -m 0 -N 4000 /dev/loop0 I have no knowledge on the script, so it might be something in the script that makes the difference, but would like to have a way to allow both the older and newer kernels to reside on one image. It now requires to different CDs.
