2.4 kernel ~Re: synaptic kernel

[Michael Havens]

here is therror it gives:

	initrd.img-2.4.27-2-k6
	root (hd0,0)
	filesystem type....
	kernel /boot/vmlinuz....
		[linux-bzimage.....
	initrd /initrd.img-2.4.27-2-k6

so wait a second.... this means it also is looking for initrd.img in / doesn't 
it?
