Hi. I am starting work on a Linux-based boot disk for my project (http://unattended.sourceforge.net/). I find initramfs elegant, so I want to use it. Luckily for me, I found this message in the archives relatively early: http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/klibc/2003-November/000168.html Sure enough, I am not able to boot from an initramfs unless I patch my kernel and pass "root=0:0" on the kernel command line (kernel 2.6.2). Is this one-line patch still the recommended method for using initramfs? If so, is anybody trying to get it into the stock kernel? Thanks! - Pat
