Well, we don't have yaboot support, so this would not be a solution. Maybe passing the initrd-size option to the kernel would help. I will also try the root parameter. What is your /dev/hda4 ? Your root partition, or the one you have the initrd on ? Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
