This is not so. The installation of a debian kernel when you have a rootfs which needs a module for the root filesystem type is to create an initrd image (uses mkinitrd from the initrd-tools package). The kernel boots and loads the initrd image as a ramdisk. The scripts that are then run (/linuxrc and /sbin/init) mount the module (from a copy on this ram disk) and then switch to it as a root. - -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9wwnVuFHxcV2FFoIRAmS5AKCOxTxr0Kx0niuDnwsNwcLbS9GhlgCfWcrC 3UczO3/tNa3VmNPNROovB3s= =r3n2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
