Kernel panic when use gensplash

This one:

title Arch
root (hd0,10)
kernel /vmlinuz26beyond root=/dev/hda10 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768-32@70 splash=verbose,theme:darch console=tty1
initrd /kernel26beyond.img

is ok.

But this one:

title  Arch with gensplash
root (hd0,10)
kernel /vmlinuz26beyond root=/dev/hda10 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768-32@70 splash=verbose,theme:darch console=tty1
initrd /fbsplash-darch-1024x768

Leads to a kernel panic:
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on xx:yy

Is it relative to my partition type? my partition type is reiserfs.

It's relative to the fact that in a) you have a full inital ram image and in b) you have a gensplash psuedo-inital ram image. I.E. the initrd line is wrong in the second one.

I solved it by made a new ram image of kernel26beyond.

Thanks for your quick response

BTW, I added reiserfs support to the mkinitramfs.conf file.

Yeah, you needed the new img for kernel26beyond
