I can't seem to get my remote hosted machine to boot to a kernel that
isn't vanilla. My host says he always uses vanilla kernels on his
machines. He is suggesting:
Have you thought about trying to use an initrd at boot up? It almost
seems like there needs to be some driver for booting that isn't loaded
as the kernel tries to boot, and maybe using a 2-stage boot process
may help.
I don't know what that means at all, and I'm wondering what you guys
think about trying that?
Here's lspci if anyone is interested:
