Hi!
I've just recompiled my kernel in order to use a ramdisk to make fbsplash work.
I've read "man lilo.conf" and "man initrd", i've recompiled the kernel enabling the ramdisk support (Device drivers > Block devices > <*> RAM Disk Support) (Device drivers > Block devices >[*] Initial RAM Disk Support), i've modified lilo.conf in this way:
Code:
### MAIN ###
boot=/dev/hda
prompt
delay=1200
default=Gentoo
#vga=ask #Made obsolete by vesafb-tng
password=xxxxxxxx
restricted
### GENTOO ###
image=/boot/bzImage
label=Gentoo
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
append="video=vesafb,ywrap,1024x768-32@75 quiet splash=silent,theme:gentoo"
initrd = /boot/fbsplash-gentoo-1024x768
### MINIX 2.0.4 ###
other=/dev/hdb2
label=Minix
table=/dev/hdb
but, at boot-time, i get this error:
Quote:
Kernel 2.9.11-gentoo-r11 wrote
VFS: Cannot open root device "301" or unknown-block(0,0)
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

if i don't use initrd the system boots normally.
wtf can the problem be??
thanks eb
