hi ~thc.
thanks for trying to help me!!!
what do you mean when you write about "remastering /lib/modules" ?
well, i compiled a new kernel and the modules for it. i installed them on my desktop machine and copied the /lib/modules/new_kernel_version directory to the /lib/modules directory inside the dsl-tree, before i created the image. and i copied the necessary modules (from lib/modules/new_kernel_version into the new initrd (called epiart24.gz).
so the second initrd looks like the original one, except the new cloop.o under modules/ and usbcore.o, usb-ehci.o... under modules/scsi/.
i didn't touch anything else, except the linuxrc script, where i commented out all the >/dev/null 's for debugging purposes. the kernel config changes don't touch anything that has to do with initrd or filesystems. i've just thrown out a lot of modules for hardware that i don't need.
i think it's not that the kernel doesn't like the initrd-bootup phase, because it loads successfully and the initrd is found too. i'm just curious where all these symbol errors come from and why this damn usb-ohci modules doesn't want to load. but maybe i'm just making a stupid mistake during compilation. it's like "you can't see the forest, because there are so many trees", if you know what i mean. i did it again and again, checked the compiler versions, my scripts (to copy the kernel, modules, compile the cloop driver, make the isos, install to the stick...) ... and so on. over and over again. but i didn't find any bugs. i'm very frustrated at the moment.
greetings
