The main problem with the initrd is that it is very difficult to build one that doesn't exactly match your existing system. So if you have a running machine with one hard drive and you want to add another and make it use software RAID, or if you want to convert to devfs then things will be quite painful for you as the initrd will want to work in the old way. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
