Can you provide a full serial log output ? Is the panic in question one happening because it doesn't find the initrd, or something else ? How do you boot, and with what ? Where do you create the initrd ? On the same box or somewhere else ? what is the size of the initrd ? Could you try setting the initrd options to MODULES=most or something such ? > Why this is happening is beyond my comprehension. Yeah, but let's find out why this happens. Friendly, Sven Luther
