I can confirm that ide-disk and ide-generic are not being loaded, however they are present in the initrd. I can modprobe them in manually from the busybox shell (however, /dev/mapper/ does not get populated when I do so). I can also edit any file in the initrd using g[un]zip and cpio. However, I cannot simply run update-initramfs since I cannot boot the 64-bit system. So, what do I need to edit to fix this? Alternatively, what command should I try to run after modprobing in ide-disk and ide-generic? Thanks, -Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
