The best I could come up with was modifying /init/do_mounts.c to skip over all the initrd loading stuff - then it worked. My question is, is there a way to use an initramfs archive as a rootfilesystem, without patching the kernel source? (Further more, depending on some conditions the system may or may not have to pivot_root to an nfs or ide-disk based filesystem.) Thanks, Daniel
