OK. That fits with Bill's idea - if you build without initrd then you would _have_ to have the root filesystem compiled into the kernel. I could see that's what was happening (though it really strikes me as a pretty weak algorithm - there's no point in checking ext3 and surely FAT could be checked last), but wasn't sure of the correct solution. Once I get a kernel that works, I always tweak it anyway, so I'll just compile in reiser next time. Thanks, both of you -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
