Recall this d-i screen? ┌─────────────────────────┤ [?] Install the base system ├─────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ The primary function of an initrd is to allow the kernel to mount the root │ │ file system. It therefore needs to contain all drivers and supporting │ │ programs required to do that. │ │ │ │ A generic initrd is much larger than a targeted one and may even be so large │ │ that some boot loaders are unable to load it but has the advantage that it │ │ can be used to boot the target system on almost any hardware. With the │ │ smaller targeted initrd there is a very small chance that not all needed │ │ drivers are included. │ │ │ │ Drivers to include in the initrd: │ │ │ │ generic: include all available drivers │ │ targeted: only include drivers needed for this system │ │ │ │ <Go Back> │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Cheers, David.
