I'd be perfectly happy (personally) if it only worked in 2.6. However, I believe that Sarge d-i has, as one of it's goals, to support both 2.4 and 2.6. Does anybody else on the list know for sure? Rick On Tuesday, September 28, 2004, at 06:21 AM, Christoph Hellwig wrote: On Mon, Sep 27,

Hi Duane, Did you install a 2.6 or 2.4 kernel? The 2.6 kernel requires an initial ramdisk. The 2.4 kernel (usually) does not. The kernel installer leaves a kernel and a tailored initrd in the /boot partition. You need to copy them into the appropriate places inside the MacOS System folder
