Nvidia. Ok (or "ok" is perhaps an exageration: problems with this
specific hardware vendor is not really a surprise to me...)
Yeah, but it plays native Linux Quake 4 very nicely!
You did remember to uninstall yaird before regenerating the ramdisk?
Yep, and to confirm it I checked the size of the generated image, all three
initrd tools produced clearly different sized images (yaird the smallest by
a little, then mkinitrd, then initramfs several times the size).
Richard: Are you ready for some more geeky tests?
Always ;-)
So if you could boot an old kernel with initrd ramdisk
and kernel options "init=/bin/sh rw", and run the following command:
/sbin/lsmod >/mkinitrd-modules.dump
Then do the same with same kernel but yaird ramdisk
It also needed a "mount /proc" for lsmod to work. It looks as though yaird
loads a whole lot less modules. If I had to guess I'd say it might be all
those frame buffer modules that mkinitrd version loads but yaird doesn't.
Richard.
Here is the lsmod from the mkinitrd:
