IIRC, the cramfs patch is something very specific to Debian kernels and is a workaround for a cramfs bug. I did a google search on this because I wasn't familiar w/the current/past discussion on the topic. It looks like our reference documentation actually touches on this topic[1]. In any case, --initrd can be configured to use a different filesystem for the initrd in /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.rc file. Could someone explain why we still use the cramfs route if it's not being adopted by the kernel gods in general? Is there a more "accepted" filesystem that gives us the benefits of cramfs? I saw one person suggest ISO. ext2 works fine. Perhaps cramfs' size profile was the smallest in the kernel, which made it a good solution for Debian? 1. http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch_kernel.en -- Chad Walstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */
