That does seem to make sense. However, when I try to boot from my module- free kernel I get what looks like the same kernel panic I get when I try to boot a module-enabled kernel without loading an initrd. So, I thought I needed an initrd in all cases. I managed to fake out mkintramfs-kpkg by creating an empty /lib/modules/<version> directory. That allowed the kernel to install, but on boot I get a message like "module RAID1 not found" (remember I'm booting off an md RAID1 device). I verified that I'm statically compiling in this support, but something is still broken somewhere. I'll keep trying stuff, and hopefully post back a clean solution. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
