Not AFAIK, because by the time initrd gets control, the kernel is already booted and all internal drivers have been initialized. You do have access to /sys and /proc, so anything that can be modified by sysctl is available for you to modify. But major flags like "nosmp", "acpi=", "noapic", and so on are fixed at this point. I suppose you could mount the /boot filesystem, update the grub.conf file (assuming you are using grub), and reboot the system from an initrd. That would be the 'brute-force' approach. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
