Comment 2 for bug 427890

Hi Leann,

Thanks for the hint - unfortunately, neither kernel (32 or 64) will
boot off the CD with the image I downloaded.

As I managed to *build* a 2.6.31 kernel on my 9.04 (running 2.6.28), maybe it's worth giving this
a try without tampering with an alpha distro version. Trouble is, however, I'm still stuggling
with the finer stages of the initrdfs process when trying to install the kernel (the modules are
already in place). Newer kernels (2.6.30 and later) seem to deploy a mechanism called update-initramfs
in order to build the RAM disk for the second stage of the booting process. Unfortunately, I haven't been
able to find any valid documentation for this process on a somewhat generic Ubuntu 9.04 release - any hints or
pointers would be greatly appreciated. Once I'll have this new kernel built up & running, I can check out
the sdhci issue and report back!
