What you have is interesting, but if you are not using LVM/MD/RAID, what is the purpose of your initramfs? AFAIK, the only real reason to use an initramfs is to mount the root fs and the kernel is quite capable of doing that for plain file systems. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
