prep bootloader seems pretty archic if he can pass any values to the cmdline of the kernel. aboves failure is expected, the best would be that the prep linux-image postinst takes care to set a proper ROOT hardcoding in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/root. but currently i read prep got disabled due to other brokeness, no idea if there is enough porter interest for that specific flavour. best regards -- maks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
