hi there, can someone help me figure out what exactly initrd is, and why kernels use it? I have looked through the docs, and I understand that it's thefile used for an initial ramdisk in some cases, but I don't understand why it would be used in some cases and not in others. So for inst ance, the demudi kernel I just installed seems to demand the use of initrd, and I take it GRUB needs an anitrd argument to load the kernel. But why don't my own self-compiled kernels require an initrd argument at boot (nor have an initrd file anywhere in /boot, as far as I can tell)?
thanks for the (continuing) assistance. Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
