Try number 2... Smaller image this time..
Hiya..
I've built a custom ISO image to boot our HP DL360 servers to image
them. I've done this, because none of the images I've seen so far have
support for the HP/Compaq SmartArray 5i. I belive I've done everything
correctly, but I get a boot failure off the CD... Everything SEEMS to go
fine, and then I get an error relating to INITRD and the RAMDisk. I'm
using a custom 2.6.8 kernel with RAMDisk and ROMFS support compiled in.

Please see attached image for the error I'm getting..
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?..
Thanks,
