That's what linuxrc usually does... > If I specify that "root=/dev/ram0", then linuxrc isn't run at all.

I've been over this code in the kernel a few times recently, and if I recall correctly, if you have initrd support compiled in, the kernel relies on the initrd (which means the linuxrc) for mounting the root FS. Can you show your linuxrc as Oleg suggested? Cheers, Muli -- Muli Ben-Yehuda http://www.mulix.org | http://mulix.livejournal.com/
