I read the man initrd and it said to make a new file for use you do
this:
CONFIGURATION
The /dev/initrd is a read-only block device assigned major number
1 and
minor number 250. Typically /dev/initrd is owned by
root.disk with
mode 0400 (read access by root only). If the Linux system
does not
have /dev/initrd already created, it can be created with the
following
commands:
mknod -m 400 /dev/initrd b 1 250
chown root:disk /dev/initrd
Also, support for both "RAM disk" and "Initial RAM disk"
(e.g. CON-
FIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y ) support must
be com-
piled directly into the Linux kernel to use /dev/initrd. When
using
/dev/initrd, the RAM disk driver cannot be loaded as a module.
Well I looked for /dev/initrd in this computer and there is none! So
I think the man page is wrong! Well this is it about for me. All the
Google data is for Red Hat 6.
