Ok, that sounds pretty crazy, though I still suspect a modules problem. What type of hardware is your root partition on, what modules are loaded on a successful boot, can you examine the initrd images to find out if there is a difference in the modules included in each initrd - they are cramfs images and you can mount them using the loopback device. mkdir /tmp/img mount -o loop,ro /boot/blah.img /tmp/img -- Horms
