it's been a long while since i've tried it, but i thought that you could retain the initrd image as a mounted directory with the "retain_initrd" kernel parameter. i just tried it on my x86_64 fedora 11 system with a working 2.6.31 kernel, but i see nothing. didn't this used to work? i'm sure there was something that would leave that stuff mounted at /initrd, wasn't there? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
