edit : oops, I made something wrong during installation.
It seems that I installed the 13.10 version. Because of the old initrd ???
zzd10h@AmigaOneX1000:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 13.10
Release: 13.10
Codename: saucy
zzd10h@AmigaOneX1000:~$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l
But you can upgrade to 14.04.1 LTS if you like.

I will try to reinstall 14.10 instead of upgrade to 14.04
Same player, shoot again
I used the initrd spotted here :
http://forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz ... 639#p31696
Instead of this modified one :
http://forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz ... =10#p31752
Edit : no, finally I will upgrade, 14.10 modified initrd doesn't detect my disk. I didn't remember that it failed too. I begin to lost my brain with all theses versions !

More precise, sure :
in the first link, there is a link to
http://forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz ... 337#p26059
where I found this initrd (in a thread called Ubuntu 13)
"Download the Ubuntu ramdisk image (initrd.gz) from:
http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/di ... /initrd.gz"
"you should use the modified one:
http://www.xenosoft.de/initrd-14.10-modified.gz"
Yes, I did it, this initrd was mentionned here :
http://forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz ... =10#p31752
but it doesn't work for me, still no disk detection (

Upgrade completed, it works
Now, just a problem, my CF is no more recognized (just after that i added initrd-15.04 for test), i had to switch vmlinux to usb stick.

Thank you very much indeed! Vielen vielen Dank!

I uploaded it today.
Download (X)(L)ubuntu (MATE) 14.10 install initial RAM disk by Nexus:
initrd-14.10-modified.gz (I suggest to download the install initial RAM disk with a right click on the link and then with the menu point "Save target as" or something like this.)
Copy it to your CF card and boot it with the following commands:
Code: Select all
CFE> ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fatfs cf0:initrd-14.10-modified.gz
Code: Select all
CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-3.18
You can also boot it from your USB stick.

zzd10h told me that it's very important to add "root=/dev/ramdisk" to the bootargs.
Code: Select all
CFE> setenv bootargs "root=/dev/ramdisk"

I used the 3.19 kernel.
modified-15.04 worked well and now I'm using MATE-15.04 (
http://forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz ... =20#p31984)
But thank you for the mkdir /lib/modules tip, I have to remember it the next time that a initrd doesn't detect my disks.
