Is it possible to run vmware-tools without an initrd? I don't know why I should use an initrd and it makes my kernel compilation more complicated. I can boot into my kernel without initrd but when I want to install vmware-tools it gives me an error message:
There was an error generating the initrd (1). Error /sbin/mkinitd -k vmlinuz...
Can I reboot?
Edit: It doesn't work without initrd.
Grub can boot from any partition so there is no need to share boot partition.
I rebooted a compiled kernel 3.1.0, and those are the errors that I am getting:

I am in the process of switching from Xen to qemu-kvm. My current Xen installation has a number of LVM volumes each with a partition (rather than a full disk image).
My laptop dual-boots Windows 7 & Ubuntu. Recently I added a logical partition and installed Backtrack. So now I'm triple-booting.
I have one Ubuntu 13.04 and one Win7 on my system, but grub seems to be detecting them multiple times for some reason (see below) and I end up with two Ubuntus on my grub menu.
Hi I got three harddrives two 250gb and a 500gb and yesterday I installed windows on a raid 0 with my two 250gbs and today I installed Ubuntu on my 500gb drive but grub ain't showing the windows as a boot option, I've tried sudo update-grub2 but it just lists the regular :
