[SOLVED] initrd/vmlinuz issues: Losing my mind...

[robinsmidsrod]

Why would that matter, once the kernel and initrd is loaded, they are in memory, and the initrd behaves like a mounted filesystem. I can't imagine that anything in your kernel would actually care what your kernel or initrd is actually named, it only cares about the kernel cmdline you've specified.

You are absolutely sure that you don't have bad hardware?

Have you actually tried with a shorter path, and does that make any difference?
