Then why does Linux not continue to boot when I specify a kernel in
grub.conf without an initrd?
The answer is: you have a sata controler. Output from your lsmmod:
ata_piix 6196 2
Make a kernel with this controler enabled:
Symbol: SCSI_ATA_PIIX [=n]
Prompt: Intel PIIX/ICH SATA support
Defined at drivers/scsi/Kconfig:452
Depends on: SCSI!=n && SCSI_SATA && PCI
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> SCSI device support
-> SCSI device support (SCSI [=y])
-> SCSI low-level drivers
-> Serial ATA (SATA) support (SCSI_SATA [=n])
Compile this into kernel not as module.
Sascha.
