I believe they still are. I don't think the kernel recognizes UUIDs, so an initrd (initramfs) is still needed to implement UUIDs and labels. There is no 'linuxrd' command in GRUB2, only 'linux', 'linux16', 'search', 'initrd', and 'initrd16' with respect to this discussion. http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
