Maybe I should add here that the problem is that the link /dev/archiso which points to the CD/DVD drive is not created by a udev rule. Executing `udevadm trigger` at the ramfs$ prompt creates this link, which should be created automatically. Executing `exit` at the ramfs$ prompt after that continues booting. So I don't think that this has anything to do with the grub+initrd combo. I guess it has something to do with udev, some hooks or the kernel modules. Heiko
