Ah, it works fine with linux-2.6.19 (it was trivial to crosscompile). So it seems the names of the patches are just wrong. I still fail to mount the root fs via NFS (tcpdump reports no network transfer after loading the kernel) and to have root on a local hard disk: [17179594.972000] XFS: file system using version 1 directory format [17179595.044000] XFS: SB validate failed [17179595.092000] VFS: Cannot open root device "sdb8" or unknown-block(8,24) [17179595.172000] Please append a correct "root=" boot option [17179595.240000] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,24) I need to check this "SB validation". But I'm sure I'm able to embed an initrd into the kernel as this works already with the old Gentoo kernel. Jens
