 |
|
I wanted to put a boot-splash on my computer (to get rid of the ugly scrolling text) but after my friend helped me adjust my kernel to run initrd, it fails to boot. It does not go into "kernel panic", but instead it just stops booting because it fails to mount my hard drive when it boots. Is there a driver I need to download or a module that needs to be enabled in my kernel?
I have:
HP pavilion 061 desktop

| You need whatever filesystem the drive with /boot [usually your root drive] is on compiled into the kernel and not as a module. |

Sorry, I meant to say:
/dev/sda does not exist when I boot. |
