I thought I would see what all the initrd stuff was about. So I de-selected all the initrd items and compiled without it. BTW I compile the old way, not with make kpkg, and I get the kernels from kernel.org. Anyway I didn't get those errors anymore. ISTR reading somewhere that there is a problem with cramfs. I may be wrong on that tho. HTH=Hope This Helps, YMMV=Your Mileage May Vary, HAND=Have A Nice Day -- Computers are not intelligent.
