The initramfs is in charge to load proper modules, if needed. But there shouldn't be a root device if there's an initramfs. Are you talking about the staged root which is going to be pivot'ed when the initramfs is done? > I am missing something but don't know what. Below is the output of [...] How has the cited output been made? From initramfs system? My questions would be: - is the driver for the LSI controller compiled into the kernel? - if it isn't, is the module contained in the initramfs? Is it a module for the right kernel? - and how is the module to be loaded by the initramfs? - is there a static or a dynamic /dev in the initramfs? - if dynamic, how is it managed? - what are the commands the initramfs uses to stage into "real root"? -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
