Re: initrd in menu and command line

[Christian Demmer <cdemmer@web.de>]

Hi,

after comparing your grub.cfg to mine, the main difference is the filename of the kernel and the initrd ... so I copied my vmlinuz-2.6.15-25-686 to vmlinuz and my initrd-2.6.15-25-386 to initrd ....

Adding this entry to grub.cfg as default entry with

menuentry "Kubunutu" {
        linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 splash=silent quiet
        initrd /initrd
        boot
}

And that works!!!!

If I find the time, I will also try to install the newest CVS version.

Bye,

Christian

Sorry, for jumping in this discussion so late.
I am using initrd heavily with grub 1.94 and here is my grub.cfg file:


set timeout=1

insmod font
insmod terminal
insmod vbe
insmod gfxterm

menuentry "Linux" {
        linux /bzImage root=/dev/ram splash=silent vga=791 quiet
        initrd /loader.img
        boot
}

menuentry "Reset to Factory defaults" {
        linux /bzImage root=/dev/ram splash=silent vga=791 quiet 
custom=reset-defaults
        initrd /loader.img
        boot
}

menuentry "Reset to Factory Video defaults" {
        linux /bzImage root=/dev/ram splash=silent vga=791 quiet 
custom=reset-video
        initrd /loader.img
        boot
}

menuentry "Complete Firmware upgrade ! ATTENTION ! ALL DATA WILL BE ERASED" {
        linux /bzImage root=/dev/ram splash=silent vga=791 quiet 
custom=firmware
        initrd /loader.img
        boot
}


The initrd is about ~15MB big,so Kernel is setup to be able to handle this big 
initrd files.
Best regards
Anes
