Hi, 

Remember that with 2.6 kernels you don't need an initrd, but you should
use the rootdelay option. params.txt should look like this:


=======================================================
\Storage Card\kernel

root=/dev/hda2 rootdelay=1
=======================================================

Sometimes the kernel just wants to mount rootfs before recognizing
cards. rootdelay=1 option prevents that by forcing it to wait for a
second :). Have fun :).


bye,
Filip
