My machine is dual-boot and runs CentOS 6.3 64-bit, as well as Windows 7. I have the BlackMagic Intensity Pro card. The card works in Windows 7. I booted into the Linux partition and installed the Linux drivers. When I tried to reboot, I get these error mesages:
The file /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-279.el6.i686.img (this is the boot image) has a new date on it that is the same as the time when I installed the BlackMagic drivers. I booted into another OS on this machine, and tried this:
so I think this must be where the problem is. Somehow the BlackMagic drivers corrupted this file? If that makes sense, how can I restore /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-279.el6.i686.img?
SOLVED: I booted from the CentOS Install disks in Rescue Mode, and created a new initramfs with dracut, and this worked.
