Kernel News and How To

How to install linux on hard disk partition using hard drive install mode by custom such as kernel,Initrd and options.

Are you asking how to set up your own custom system by installing a bootloader and putting the kernel, ramdisk and binaries on the system manually? There are many ways to go about this, depending on what bootloader and file system you want to use. I can help you create an extremely basic system, but its up to you to set it up to do anything more useful then run a couple binaries.

1. Create a partition. ext2 should be simplest for this purpose. The simplest bootolader to get working is probably EXTLINUX, but I’m not sure if it supports multiple partitions, so you’ll have to use an entire disk.
2. Create the basic directory structure (/sbin, /usr, /bin, /etc, and so on)
3. Run the extlinux command on the directory. You will need the syslinux package installed on your distro / LiveCD. Example: extlinux /mnt/disk-1
4. Use the "cat" command to copy the master boot record from the syslinux directory to the device. Example: cat mbr.bin > /dev/hdb
5. Create a file called extlinux.conf on the root of the device. Alternatively, it could be placed in the /boot folder, if you change the installation command above slightly (making it ‘extlinux /mnt/disk/boot’)
6. Set up the file the way you need it, with a label, path to the kernel, path to the initrd, and any other parameters you need.
7. Place any other binaries you need on the disk. Make sure your Initrd actually mounts the hard drive, or you won’t be able to use them.

Droll Yankee Whipper Feeder

Features: The Whipper features four seed ports with individual weight sensitive perches. The curved perch positioning encourages cardinals and small songbirds to eat, but prevents squirrels from feeding. Each perch is individually sprung and calibrated for birds up to the weight of a cardinal (approx. 2 ozs.) Length and girth of the feeder are specific to repelling squirrels. The heavy metal cap is constructed to prevent squirrels from raising the cap and reaching the seed inside. An internal baffle design delivers the seed to the ports. The 4-3/4″ x 21″ clear feeder tube is made of UV stabilized polycarbonate for long lasting durability without yellowing. The metal cap and feeder base are powder coated a stunning Evening Blue. The Whipper hangs from a looped stainless steel wire that reduces motion that would spill seed. Add Locking Chain to secure it against falls. Lifetime Warranty against squirrel damage. Item Specifications: Country of Origin: Components made in the U.S A. and in China Seed or Feed Options: Sunflower seed, mixed seed, cracked corn, peanut chunks, safflower seed and sunflower kernels Capacity: 5 lbs. of seed, 4 Ports Dimensions: 9.5 x 9.5 x 28.5 (assembled) Mounting: Must be hung Construction: UV Stabilized Polycarbonate, stainless steel bail wire and powder coated metal Mfg Warranty: Lifetime warranty against squirrel damage Item Number: YCPW-180 Birds that use this feeder: Cardinals, Chickadees, Finches, Goldfinches, Grosbeaks, Juncos, Kinglets, Nuthatches, Redpolls, Siskins, Sparrows, Titmice, Woodpeckers and Wrens.
