First, on UUIDs - the kernel does not understand them, it needs userspace. Therefore, if somebody wants to use a UUID in the root= parameter in grub, an initrd is necessary. If the UUID is only used in /etc/fstab, I have no idea. I'm also unsure what you mean by symlinks in /etc/fstab. ĸen -- This email was written using 100% recycled letters. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
