8 smarenka 20629 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.

16 smarenka 20629 If you are using a 2.2.x linux kernel, then you must make sure you
17 fjpop-guest 22935 are using a ramdisk built to accommodate it, see the <ulink url="&disturl;/main/installer-&architecture;/current/images/MANIFEST">MANIFEST</ulink>. You will
18 smarenka 23625 also need to use the &ramdisksize; kernel parameter. In general, this
19     means you need to use the initrd22.gz ramdisk from the respective
20     directory.

135 smarenka 20629 At least six different ramdisks may be used to boot from the hard
136     drive, three different types each with and without support for a
137 fjpop-guest 22935 2.2.x linux kernel (see

142    
143     The three different types of ramdisks are <filename>cdrom</filename>,
144     <filename>hd-media</filename>, and <filename>nativehd</filename>. These
145     ramdisks differ only in their source for installation packages.
146     The <filename>cdrom</filename> ramdisk uses a cdrom to get
147     debian-installer packages. The <filename>hd-media</filename> ramdisk
148     uses an iso image file of a cdrom currently residing on a hard disk.
149     Finally, the <filename>nativehd</filename> ramdisk uses the net to
150     install packages.
