You don't need to set anything in the kernel - it just takes some time for it all to be loaded from USB, so you only need a delay. Add "rootdelay=10" to the kernel line in your bootloader config (feel free to adjust the number, could try lower if you want to see if it will work with less delay, or higher if needed). -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
