Ah, i think that i know what this problem is then. initrd-tools used to be knoweldgeable about the root device, while initramfs-tools doesn't and you have to give it explicitly. Try using yaird instead of initramfs-tools, and you will see this problem going away. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
