That also explains your inability to reboot. Basically, when the bootloader loads the initramfs, the kernel mounts it as the root device and starts /sbin/init. /sbin/init, in turn, runs the script at /init (which you can see from the initramfs shell with "ls /"), which is copied into the initramfs image by the update-initramfs and mkinitramfs tools from the file /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init. > 5. manually set the vdev's initrd and init.vdev in grub.cfg > 6. manually add /etc/init.d/vdev into runlevel.conf (and keep > /etc/init.d/udev) > first, I tried to put vdev before udev, then the other way around > 7. reboot my PC using vdev's initrd and init > > There are some progress on the boot messages, but I still ended up on > (initramfs) prompt.

Let's see what happens after you fix steps 3 and 4--it could be a side-effect of the init program being broken, since the init program should also run the console setup scripts. Thanks, Jude
