Re: trouble loading self compiled vanilla kernel

In my experience on openSUSE, the following sequence of commands
installs both the kernel and the initrd:
make *config*
make
make modules_install
make install
However, if the order of the last two make invocations is switched, then
the initrd does not get generated (correctly or at all).

Cool! So that explains why it never worked for me. I always ran
"make install" before "make modules_install". It just appeared
more logical.

Thanks a lot for that hint - I'll try it on the next occasion.
