Anything is possible with a custom initrd. Do debug a custom initrd (leave aside the anoying technicalities of creating/updating one), simply have it run 'sh'. This should give you an interactive shell. Make sure you have the required binaries inside, and their libraries. busybox can be very helpful in that front. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+
