In the bootline above       you tell your kernel to use /dev/sdc1 as your root file system. As you       have a root file system you do not need any initrd which would have been       a compressed cpio archive containing your root file system. The "ro"       argument simply tells your kernel to initially mount your root file       system read only and does not in any way belong to the initrd variable.              If I remember right, the name of the compressed cpio archive is       initrd.img on the Slackware installation media.              regards Henrik              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
