hi everyone.i'm stuck again and need your help.
i'll try to make it as short as possible:
i compiled a new kernel (2.6.6) and the modules for it. then i compiled the cloop driver for this kernel. i mounted the minirt24 and replaced the cloop driver and the modules in the scsi/ directory with the new ones. after that i gzipped the minirt26 and put it into the boot folder, added a label to isolinux.cfg and tried to boot it. the kernel boots successfully. the ide-driver is inside the kernel so access to the cd is granted. but when it comes to the 'mount_knoppix()' function in the linuxrc script, something goes wrong. the possible reason ist that the cloop driver isn't working. the last message i get while booting is:
'Accessing DSL image at /dev/hdc/...insmod: QM_MODULES:'
then i'm dropped to the 'limited shell'.
an 'lsmod' shows nothing so the cloop driver was not inserted, although no error message appears. i used the same compiler for the kernel and the cloop driver. i changed file permissions to make sure that the drivers are readable and executable.
well, here are the questions:
does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
is there a kernel-patch to include the cloop driver into the kernel?
why is the cloop driver not inserted correctly?
EDIT:
i found out that not the cloop driver itselfs is the problem. it should be the insmod command/program. so what i tried is to compile insmod statically to support kernel2.6 modules. but i wasn't really successful. so i downloaded the busybox source code and compiled the busybox statically with insmod and modprobe inside. i deleted the insmod and modprobe inside the initrd, copied over the busybox and made two links. one for insmod and one for modprobe.
but.... it doesn't work. when i try to boot it, i get the same result:
'insmod: QM_MODULES:' that's all. the busybox itself is working but the result is the same
any tipps?
greetings
