Very strange (the no /var/log part)...this indicates the init scripts for the ramlog package are not running. Exactly why is another matter. Assuming your hardware is OK (run memtest86 to check your ram), the only thing I see that creates a warning flag is your boot & PKGPATH settings. Both point to /dev/hda: boot=/dev/hda,msdos PKGPATH=/dev/hda1:msdos One of these devices is invalid, and it's probably the boot device. You might try removing the PKGPATH variable (or setting it back to /dev/cdrom), since you only have one place to load packages from, and that's the boot device. Also, remember you can't do partial backups if you aren't loading the main package from one location, and storing backups in another (which it doesn't look like you're doing), so do full backups of everything or you'll break stuff. Let me know what happens when you change the boot & PKGPATH settings. If things still arn't working, scroll back once your system's booted and report what linuxrc outputs when it's extracting the packages...
