Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I wan't to use an initrd for loading my Highpoint raid controller by using the drivers provided by highpoint. |
| 4 |
I can't get an initrd to load, the kernel load, the initrd is mounted as root. But then it says it can't find INIT: add init= to kernel (but there allready is).... |

Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong? (my config below) |
