HD Install :: Kernel update



#make modules completed ok and i have have a new kernel image, lets say vmlinuz-2.4.32 However i don't know how to create minirt32.gz in order to use it in the initrd line on grub's menu.lst file in order to boot with the new kernel... :(

Edit: In which packet i can find mkinitrd or mkbootdisk utility?

I created a boot diskette with lilo in order to boot with the new 2.4.32 kernel.

dsl@0[dsl]$ uname -a
Linux box 2.4.32 #5 Wed Apr 5 22:46:19 EDT 2006 i586 GNU/Linux

However this isn't the best solution since it takes some time to load the kernel from the diskette.

Moreover i found that mkinitrd is included on initrd-tools which is available through apt-get. However i didn't manage to create minirt32.gz which i need to use with grub. Does anyone know how to do this? I can't believe that noone has tried this in here...
