Hi all,
I have donwloaded 2.6.32.59 from kernel.org, extracted the source, did make menuconfig to select/deselect items then did make bzImage, make modules, make modules_install, make install and rebooted. first message I got was that ext4 was not supported.
So I verified that ext4 was selected and it was. So I looked at the size of the /boot/initramfs* items. My custom one is really small compared to the normal one.
My question is - what controls the items that get put in there (the initramfs stuff) when you do a "make install" for a custom kernel?
Clearly it is not picking up the "normal" centos items that are in the other initramfs files.
Thanks,
Jerry

Because you did not build the kernel 'CentOS' way:

Also, if you are building from a vanilla kernel (kernel.org), you may want to look at kernel-ml from ELRepo.

Ok - is there a way to build "just a module" that disables the PAE code? I'm running on a smaller CPU.
Thanks,

You'd have to modify the config to disable PAE. I suggest you first try the NONPAE version of ELRepo's kernel-ml to see if that works on your hardware.
