[GFN] Do i need to re-gen uInitrd after next kernel update ?

[tomcheng76]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarm ~]# uname -a
Linux alarm 3.12.8-1-ARCH #1 PREEMPT Wed Jan 15 18:07:31 MST 2014 armv5tel GNU/Linux')

Good news is that finally my GFN updates from 3.1.10-29 to 3.12.8-1-ARCH and boots normally

This is my update procedure, i hope it helps other goflexnet users

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -S linux-kirkwood linux-kirkwood-headers
mkinitcpio -k 3.12.8-1-ARCH -g /boot/3.12.8-1-ARCH.img
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x0 -e 0x0 -n uInitrd-3.12.8-1-ARCH -d 3.12.8-1-ARCH.img /boot/uInitrd

//fstab
LABEL=rootfs / ext3 defaults,noatime,rw 0 1
')

Do i need to re-gen uInitrd after next kernel update ?
Is there a better kernel upgrade approach ?
Do i need to add some MODULES in mkinitcpio.conf for better pre-loading ?

Thanks for reading

With alarm you don't. All necessary modules are built in into the kernnel. Though it may be a good idea to refresh it once in a while to get thigs like fsck up to date. I still use over a year old initrd.
