Thanks. That's not the source of my problem then: I'll go with sda3 everywhere. > What is said in dmesg after mount failure? Nothing! The failure doesn't result in anything showing up in dmesg output. But you've reminded me that I need support for ext2, as that's how this partition is formatted. I added ext2.ko (from modules.tgz) to initrd.lrp (both the file in /lib/modules and as a line in /boot/etc/modules), but now I don't get as far as before, and get a kernel panic instead of being dropped into the recovery console. The kernel can't mount the root fs, and the list of fs types it tried is empty.

Or missed someplace I needed to list the ext2 module. I'll go looking for docs later this weekend. I *did* do all the cpio work and file copying as root, so shouldn't have screwed the permissions up. Or: lsmod on my LEAF 3.x system shows ext2 as having no dependencies. Has this changed for 2.6? Are there other modules I need to add to initrd.lrp for ext2 to work?
