I'm running Woody with a 2.4.10 kernel. When I first upgraded from 2.2.19 to 2.4.9 I had to add a line to lilo.conf telling where the initrd was in order to boot. After reading man initrd and initrd.txt from the kernel documentation it seemed that the initrd was only useful/necessary for creating a generic kernel. In my current kernel ram disk is not enabled. I commented out the initrd line in lilo.conf and ran lilo and the system now boots just fine.
My question is am I missing anything by cutting out the initrd phase of boot? Thanks, John Purser
