I went back and read that post = but you didn't seem to have the problem I have. I "think" because I have ext3 as a root partition and am using the debian kernel which has that as a module, debian's installation of the kernel has created an initrd image which it loads on boot and uses to load the ext3 module. What concerns me is that the lvm process for root partitions also creates an initrd image. However, there is no explanation I could find of how it creates it, or what is put in it. (I assume lvm is a module that needs to be loaded at boot time before root can be mounted). I think, from your post, that your root partition is reiserfs. I think that is compiled in to 2.4.18-bf2.4 and therefore you have neatly sidestepped the problem. -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
