[Grml] upgrade from kernel 2.6.23 to 2.6.28

[Dietmar Segbert]

Hello Mika,

thanks for your answer.

I have done a

update-iniramfs -c -t -k 2.6.28-grml

After that i started the kernel with this initrd from dos (i allways start
from dos with linld097.com.

The kernel loads and stand than in the initramfs. I did not hear any
output from my apollo synthesizer (boot-option speakup_synth=apollo).

I have unpacked the initrd.img-2.6.28-grml and looked for the speakup-
modules, but he modules are not in the initrd.img-2.6.28-grml.

On the system the modules are in /lib/modules/2.6.28-grml/extra/speakup/

How can i add this modules?

Unpacking with

gzip -dc initrd.img-2.6.28-grml | cpio -i

copy the extra folder into the 2.6.28-grml directory and then

find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -9 >initrd.img-2.6.28-grml

will produce a new initrd, but speakup will not work and the system will
not boot.

How can i do a depmode for the not running kernel 2.6.28-grml?

thanks for your help.

Regards

Dietmar

Add the according module(s) to /etc/modules and rebuilding the
initramfs should add those modules to the initrd.

I spotted something in your message, unrelated to the initramfs. You
said you gave the boot parameter:
speakup_synth=apollo

This is wrong, with speakup 3.x boot parameters use the . (full stop)
instead of the _ (underline) characters. Although GRML has speakup as
modules and so speakup itself doesn't deal with the boot parameters, it
was decided and done that GRML should reflect this change with its boot
options. Therefore you should give the boot parameter as:
speakup.synth=apollo

Also please note: the above boot parameter is to use the GRML system of
starting speakup, I think if you add speakup to the initramfs then you
don't need to give any boot parameters (IE. add only the modules you
want to be used, in your case speakup_apollo and any of its dependencies).
