You really didn't need those extra two question marks. |

Anyway, if you'll compile the driver for your SATA controller (that runs |
| 13 |
the |
| 14 |
drive that holds '/') into the kernel and you don't have an exotic setup |
| 15 |
(software RAID/LVM/EVMS), you won't need an initrd/initramfs. Depending on |
| 16 |
how your software RAID is set up you may not need a initrd/initramfs for |
| 17 |
that |
| 18 |
either. (Linux won't autostart my software RAID because I raid together |
| 19 |
two |
| 20 |
whole drives instead of multiple partitions.) |
