And I even missed the point that Daniels Ultra 5 is running Sarge, my Ultra is still on Woody where booting is a bit simpler. >The rest of the modules you noted as missing benefit from the initial >ramdisk hack.

There were an awful lot of modules listed. But....wouldn't it be simpler to just compile the stuff in and be done with it? I mean, I understand why the installation kernel relays on initrd, but for a tuned, self compiled kernel, this isn't necessary. HTH, Uli -- Dipl. Inf.
