There is no problem. Well, when I started this thread I did not know it get so much discussion. Anyways, I'm not worried about it any more. My root= on my kernel boot line is using /dev/by-uuid/ so if the initramfs can find the root device, I'm sure it can find the /usr device from the rootfs /etc/fstab. I've not noticed any breakage on all my system's that have a seperate /usr, apart from the message doing boot. As long as the message and any potential problems from a seperate /usr go away when the initramfs hook is completed, I'll be happy. -das
