I thought the point of initrd was that everything didn't need to be compiled into the kernel, not even the root device. I suspect tweaking the initrd image is all that would be required for a stock kernel to boot. Add the module to /etc/mkinitrd/modules and re-build the initrd image. Installing a standard kernel package should build the initrd image for you. -- Donovan Baarda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://minkirri.apana.org.au/~abo/
