Thanks, that solved the problem, given that I had identified it |
| 17 |
as arising from Ubuntu not recognising ReiserFS. |
| 18 |
I added the 'initrd=...' line & booted into Ubuntu successfully; |
| 19 |
Gentoo doesn't require that line, perhaps because I use no kernel modules. |
| 20 |
BTW the Ubuntu ramdisk needs 7,9 MB & Lilo issues a warning |
| 21 |
(I didn't use your 'append/vga' lines). |

From my bit of experience so far, Ubuntu does look good for a beginner. |
