I have not yet been able to get the rescue cd to boot on 2.6 kernels correctly
because the boot procedure is different. My most recent efforts allow me to
boot the kernel, get the ramdisk installed (it is now an initramfs) and to
start running my init script. I haven't gotten past that point for two
reasons:
1. I cannot make shared libraries work (only programs statically linked run).
Possibly a problem like what you point out with renaming something.
2. I haven't yet figured out he magic incantation for making the kernel
continue using the initramfs after my init script has terminated.
I'll come back to this after I finish integrating Python in a couple of weeks
unless you want to work on it. If not, in the mean time, I suggest keeping a
2.4 Bacula rescue disk around or a FC3 rescue disk (poor substitute).
