I placed all these in modules in addition to a few others I had tried because of previous error messages. A dep update-initramfs still produces the complaint about :/ Is a directory but at least the one I tried booted! 1/3 the size. The first work-around I tried was a phony symlink rootfs->/ which can be on my home directory where I am logged in. This is what produces the complaint but enables an initrd-img to be produced. /proc/mounts certainly does have a rootfs on / so this certainly is a bug and nothing to do with the original knoppix (though I have not tried it on a "pure" chroot produced be debootstrap--my system will not accept a dep-based bootup sequence and that certainly could be related). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
