This depends on what the initrd does and whether it is broken or not. The initrd is basically a file system image which is loaded to memory by the bootloader and contains a program which is executed before mounting the root file system. Its purpose is to prepare the system so the root file system can be mounted, if you have an encrypted root file system or something like this. Some distributions create very small kernels and load disk drivers and so via an initrd to avoid some "bloat". > Michael Blizek wrote: > > No "make modules"??? > > No I didn't. Please try executing this. Otherwise the modules are not compiled and "make modules_install" does nothing. -Michi -- programing a layer 3+4 network protocol for mesh networks see http://michaelblizek.twilightparadox.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
