[Dev] Kernel for i9000 (with Root!) LK9.01.beta9 [22.06.2010]

[kristrev]

Hello,

I have a question related to how you compiled this and made it worked. I followed you guide for the Spica and modified it according to the i9000. I was able to compile the kernel (downloaded the source from Samsung's site) successfully and with your initramfs (cloned from github), the total file size was around 6MB. I then replaced the zImage inside the PDA-file for the firmware I want to use (is this the correct way?) and used Odin to flash. The flash is successful, however, when the phone reboots it says it can't find the device /stl11 with the error message "No such device". I have also tried flashing with RomRecovery and it also appears to suceed, but it gives the same error message. For creating the update.zip, I used a script I found over on XDA

When I have seen similar errors when I have compiled the Linux kernel for other architectures, there has usually been a module missing. However, I have not been able to figure out if this is the case here. Have you or anyone else experienced something similar and know how to fix it, or what I am doing wrong when I am compiling? I also noticed that the zImage-files in most distributions are smaller than mine, but I am not sure if this matters or not.
