tnx
I have read the simonf instructions....
I have two point that are not clear to me (that is most of it)
1) mkinitrd --preload=ehci-hcd --preload=usb-storage --preload=scsi_mod
--preload=sd_mod /boot/usbinitrd.img 2.6.9-1.667smp
Why shall I use 2.6.9-1.667smp??? or what else??
2) If I have to use the modified mkinitrd for usb, what shall I do it???
Sorry but newbie to this kind of problems!!!!
