Hi,
Forgive me for the noise, but ...
I am having trouble getting custom kernels to boot. One system is an old
Toshiba laptop (Satellite 2775XDVD) running Fedora 9 and the other is a PowerMac G5
running YellowDog 6. Kernel is 2.6.27. I am starting to suspect the problem is udev.
So ...
Kevin's stupid question of the day:
Does udev REQUIRE the use of an initrd root during boot to be able to find
things like the console and the real root device? Doc pointers welcome.
I am trying to switch the satellite from the new fangled libata driver to
the old ide driver which I suspect might be faster (or smaller).
