As boot without initramfs?

Hello, sorry for my English

As boot without initramfs?, Without initramfs in dev only are created the devices console, null and zero, and the kernel no boot because  can not  access the device root, i have to create the device manually  with makedev?

Thanks.

Try using the fallback image (/boot/kernel26-fallback.img)

Thanks but fallback image (/boot/kernel26-fallback.img) is precisely an image initrd.

Thanks anyway.

If you want to boot without using an initramfs image, you need to build your own kernel. The stock Arch kernel package required initramfs.

Yes. But your *problem* is that you cannot boot. The proper solution is to use the fallback image. There are other solutions, such as building your own kernel without initramfs, but that's a lot of excess work for little benefit.

Re: As boot without initramfs?

Already this OK

Building kernel without initramfs
In fstab hda3 instead of sda3
In grub hda3 instead of sda3

Time boot the grub until prompt: with intitramfs and kernel with modules (archlinux default) --> 35 second
Time boot the grub until prompt: without intitramfs and kernel without modules --> 14 second   

Thanks.
