Building a 2.6.30 kernel that does NOT require initrd
Greetings-
Using a .config file based on past kernels that have worked fine (posted
at http://perrin.socsci.unc.edu/stuff/config), I am trying to compile
kernel 2.6.30 for an amd64 machine and NOT using initrd. The essentials I
know of - sata, ext3, e1000e - are built into the kernel, so I don't think
it should need an initrd, but I'm consistently getting:
kernel panic: no init found. Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0).
Any advice welcome.
Thanks.
