It's optional. I -STILL- can't figure out why the autoprober doesn't just look in /proc/mounts to figure out who and what our root device and filesystem are. I need to set up a system that boots to an initrd and puts the root device lives on a samba server just to confuse eric's autoprober. Hmmm... I wonder if that would work? :) Rob _______________________________________________ kbuild-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kbuild-devel
