Because you still need one specified in grub.conf? Genkernel makes one |
| 12 |
by default, so it must be specified in grub.conf. If you build a kernel |
| 13 |
by hand, you most likely don't have an initrd (unless you're using one |
| 14 |
for gensplash), so it need not be specified (unless needed for gensplash). |
