i'm sure i've asked about this before, but is there any reason that initrd and initramfs support needs to be connected? the config option BLK_DEV_INITRD has the prompt: Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support but can you not have, say, initramfs support without supporting an external filesystem-format initrd image? i don't see why not. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
