Initrdless 2.6.14 kernel
How does one find out just what one needs to compile into the 2.6.14 kernel to
boot without the initrd. I tried the ide controller and the file system ext3,
jbd. Still get 22,1, just what I get using yaird initrds.
Using mkinitrd, it will boot but modules are "not enabled" (they are) and all
kinds of undefines in alsa stuff.
