Bried re-coup of the problem:
Seemed like no matter what drivers I compiled into the kernel either
statically or as modules I got the above error. I resorted to
installing the kernel-image from debian.org and this installed
perfectly. I still wanted/needed to know what my issue was so I diffed
the config files for the debian image and my kernel and ended up
changing the ramdisk parameter from 4096 (the default) to 8192 (the
setting from the debian image) and this has fixed my issue.
A couple of questions, though, if someone has a moment to enlighten me.
It was recommended that I *NOT* use initrd unless I absolutely had a
reason (booting from LVM or raid, etc) but all of the debian images come
in this manner and I have been unable to compile a kernel and get it to
boot without initrd. Am I missing something? At some point I will be
attempting to mirror the boot disk so I will need initrd anyway so I
don't mind having to set it up but is it required for all kernels or is
there a way to not use it?
Thanks,
Craig Russell
