Re: [gentoo-user] Installation AMD64 with SCSI

[Leandro Melo de Sales]

Hi Hemmann,

   well, I don't have a good reason to use initrd, but this is an
attempt to try putting gentoo running on my server. I'll kick out ufs
but I don't think that this is the problem.
  Yes, before try to use initrd I put everthing I need *built in* but
didn't work. Any other clue?

Thanks,

Leandro.
