Some &arch-title; subarchs have the option of booting using either a
|
| 9 |
2.4.x or 2.2.x linux kernel. When such a choice exists, try the 2.4.x
|
| 10 |
linux kernel. The installer should also require less memory when using
|
| 11 |
a 2.4.x linux kernel as 2.2.x support requires a fixed-sized ramdisk
|
| 12 |
and 2.4.x uses tmpfs.
|
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
</para><para>
|
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
If you are using a 2.2.x linux kernel, then you must make sure you
|
| 17 |
are using a ramdisk built to accomodate it, see the <ulink url="&disturl;/main/installer-&architecture;/current/images/MANIFEST">MANIFEST</ulink>. You will
|
| 18 |
also need to use the &ramdisksize; kernel parameter.

At least six different ramdisks may be used to boot from the hard

drive, three different types each with and without support for a
|
| 128 |
2.2.x linux kernel (see <ulink url="&disturl;/main/installer-&architecture;/current/images/MANIFEST">MANIFEST</ulink> for details).

The three different types of ramdisks are <filename>cdrom</filename>,

| 133 |
<filename>hd-media</filename>, and <filename>nativehd</filename>. These
|
| 134 |
ramdisks differ only in their source for installation packages.
|
| 135 |
The <filename>cdrom</filename> ramdisk uses a cdrom to get
|
| 136 |
debian-installer packages. The <filename>hd-media</filename> ramdisk
|
| 137 |
uses an iso image file of a cdrom currently residing on a hard disk.
|
| 138 |
Finally, the <filename>nativehd</filename> ramdisk uses the net to
|
| 139 |
install packages.
