On 2.4.14 there was enough to delay the kernel | a bit before mounting root, but not on the 2.6:( I updated the Lammerts patch to 2.4.22 and someone tested it and verified that it works (for them :). I haven't looked at applying it to 2.6.0-test, but I can do that if you have troubles doing it. The 2.4.x udpated patch is at http://www.xenotime.net/linux/usb/usbboot-2422.patch -- ~Randy MOTD: Always include version info. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
