I think I found the bug (variable has been set to a wrong value). Can you please test ftp://people.redhat.com/karsten/formatmnt ? The easiest way without having to unpack the initrd.img is this: - download the formatmnt binary to a Linux system - ipl your VM - when you're prompted to log in via ssh/telnet execute this command from the Linux machine with the new binary: cat formatmnt | ssh root@VM_to_install cat \> \/sbin\/formatmnt Karsten Hopp On Thu, Oct 18, 2001 at 02:02:58PM -0400, Post, Mark K wrote: > I'm using the latest VM initrd and kernel.
