Hi Herbert, thanks for the reply, here's the relevant files as requested...
# /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf: # Configuration file for mkinitrd(8). See mkinitrd.conf(5). # # This file is meant to be parsed as a shell script. # What modules to install. MODULES=most # The length (in seconds) of the startup delay during which linuxrc may be # interrupted. DELAY=0 # If this is set to probe mkinitrd will try to figure out what's needed to # mount the root file system. This is equivalent to the old PROBE=on setting. ROOT=probe # This controls the permission of the resulting initrd image. UMASK=022 # Command to generate the initrd image. MKIMAGE='mkcramfs %s %s > /dev/null' #MKIMAGE='mkext2fs %s %s > /dev/null' # Set this to yes if you want to use busybox(1). BUSYBOX=no # Set this to no if you want to disable /usr/share/initrd-tools/scripts. PKGSCRIPTS=yes # /etc/mkinitrd/modules: Kernel modules to load for initrd. # # This file should contain the names of kernel modules and their arguments # (if any) that are needed to mount the root file system, one per line. # Comments begin with a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored. # # You must run mkinitrd(8) to effect this change. # # Examples: # # ext2 # wd io=0x300 FastTrak.o > -----Original Message----- > From: Herbert Xu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, 9 December 2003 06:08 > To: Lewis Shobbrook > Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org; debian-testing@lists.debian.org > Subject: Re: Initrd problems > > On Tue, Dec 09, 2003 at 11:04:22AM +1100, Lewis Shobbrook wrote: > > > > Basically the driver module is not loading and we can't > mount the root > > filesystem.
