Question... does it have to be an initramfs, or can the vast majority of simple cases be handled by a simple initscript in /bin or /sbin that mounts /usr, and does whatever else is required, before handing off control to /sbin/init. I've migrated to mdev, so I won't be seeing this problem, but a simple solution that works for 95% of users might be the way to go. For the more complex situations, an initramfs will be necessary. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
