It might need some debian infrastructure to use it. Yes, I know shadow creates /etc/debian/useradd, but shadow is now maintained by debian.
Based on your previous post where you said that these options are on the 'linux' line within grub.cfg, I still maintain that it is NOT a grub problem but a kernel problem. You say those parameters work in an existing setup: with the exact same kernel version and .config ? If you reply 'yes' to that then I'm dumbfounded and out of ideas. If not, I repeat "look at what dmesg says". Best of luck! ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
