if you tell us what your distro is, we may be able to give you a more focused help. plus I'm not quite sure why initrd is such a nono, seems to like a useful solution, I'm just not sure if it's useful for your question... > One > of the file systems is encrypted, and I need to load the encryption > modules.

If you are messing with encrypted FS you should probably get to know the rest of the system as well so you can secure it more. > If I don't have this file (/etc/modules) should I just create it? if you don't have it, probably no script uses it (I think it's a Debian feature). another thing you can do to have a feature in the kernel at boot-time is to just compile it staticly, what can be easier? -- The first, the last, and only line of defense Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
