Subject: [PATCH] Don't continue booting if we can't load the specified initrd.
Date: Wed, 16 May 2012 13:43:26 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1337190206-12121-1-git-send-email-pjones@redhat.com> (raw)
If we've determined we can't do what the user asked, trying to do
something else isn't going to make the user's life better.
Without this the screen scrolls a bit and then you get a panic
anyway, and it's nice not to have so much scroll after the real
problem in bug reports.
