So, just to make sure I'm understanding you here (cuz it sounds kinda crazy) If you specify a dracut-created inittramfs in your grub.conf, your machine boots, but using 'su' to go from root -> non-root fails? If you remove the initrd line from grub.conf and boot the exact same kernel, 'su' works fine? What's the error? Cuz once the pivot_root step happens and the real init is running, things in user-space should be *exactly* the same as if you had no initramfs. --Mike
