If you can compile all the modules you need to mount / into the kernel (I'd argue that they should be there anyway on custom kernels), and you don't need the initrd to configure your root partition, then you can just leave the initrd line out of grub althogether. Which makes everything that much simpler. Or are you doing something exotic like running a diskless workstation? James. -- E-mail address: james@ | Banana in disk drive error westexe.demon.co.uk |
