I knew all that before I looked into trying out initrd. I had read all the posts, and docs, before I ever started. I never got to the booting stage as the kernel compile gave me 'cramfs' errors. Just like the original poster was getting. That was a few weeks ago and I did not keep notes so I think that was the only compile error I received. Or are you saying that the Cramfs errors would have gone away if I had used make kpkg? I don't think so ..... -- Disclaimer: Any errors in spelling, tact, or fact are transmission errors. _______________________________________________________
