Re: Can't boot custom compiled 2.6.30 amd64 kernel

[Andrew Perrin <clists@perrin.socsci.unc.edu>]

Appreciate all the replies. However I have never used an initrd in the 
past (been building kernels since the 2.0.x series) and don't want to this 
time. sata and ext3 drivers are built into the kernel (not modules) so I 
don't think I should need one. Any thoughts as to why I apparently do, or 
how to continue not to need one?
