What's in that initrd? Did you copy that initrd.1024 to your laptop?

Hi Markus!
That initrd.1024 is a file on the cd. No I did not copy it to my laptop.
Thats just in the append line of the bootloader on the livecd.
How my append line should look like:
--> append vga=791 hdd=ide-scsi
Thats all. But as I already wrote, I just get a black screen.
I don't know what's in that initrd. How can i find that out?

Thaks for "the lspci" now it works!

Greetings Stefan
