BTW, the initramfs standard allows for multiple cpio archives, so in principle, one could have an "addon" images. That's useful, because we want kernel modules in the the initrd-$KVER.img, but we could have a generic initrd-rescue.img that is loaded after it. Caveat: I haven't tried this, and don't know whether it actually works with current kernels. -Bill -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
