Talk to jbailey before making any decisions about this, as he has the best grasp on initramfs. I believe maks was also working on this. I'm told that there are currently some issues with other archs and initramfs (ie, oopsing during boot), but this is to be expected as we (debian) will probably be using it on untested platforms. It's broken on sparc, at least.. FWIW, I'm all for initramfs; it moves logic/magic out of kernelspace into userspace, and sounds like it will allow us much more flexibility wrt early userspace stuff. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
