Right, but if you muck around with the system at this level, I assume you can recover the system if it fails to bring up the RAID by itself using the initramfs console. Anyway, I don't really see a way to guard against the problems, nor a way to solve it otherwise, short of running update-initramfs from the hostname binary or grub trying to read /etc/hostname and passing it via kernel command line. I guess I could try this, but it sounds fragile and hard. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madd...@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems "i wish i hadn't slept all day, it's really lowered my productivity" -- robert mcqueen
