Should work though. Many reported that it works for them. Maybe check that you had the latest code from http://www.rvdheij.com/linuxipl.html If you get as far as this message it looks like Linux did pick up your parm line but failed to load the initrd. Any messages in that area? Do you get the message about the ramdisk found? Rob
