My mistake was not specifing the root device as a kernel parameter, as it wasn't required before. Now I know what to do... Doh! I should have known this, as I just recently went through the Bootdisk-HOWTO. The kernel image *does* store the device node used for the root system at build. And yes, it can be changed using rdev on i386 systems only. (Although the man page for rdev strongly discourages it's use in this way) It is reccomended instead to use a bootloader to specify the root device as a kernel option. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
