I remember that thread of yours. But nobody did try to reproduce it. The only thing I tried myself was booting without an initrd, but with ext3 built into the kernel and with disk labels in fstab. Ramdisks use Red Hat "nash" which contains a version of "mount" that seems to support "LABEL=" parameters. > one of the things i'm pretty sure i recall is that you can build > ext3 support as a module, then totally *forget* to build a ramdisk > and everything will still boot properly since (again, from memory), > the root FS will first be mounted as ext2, then be *remounted* > as ext3 via /etc/rc.sysinit later. Sounds interesting and makes sense. However if an old ramdisk is still in place, booting would fail, because the boot script inside the ramdisk tries to mount the root fs as ext3. > p.s. of course, i could always just "RTFM". right, michael? :-P Do we need you for anything, Mr.Day? *lol* - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+bLYd0iMVcrivHFQRApByAJ9yMYaoFYUBHZwqo1DxMbAaxpqPKACfWq1L UlWFre9bgPXTMgc/Gs/H1Ng= =SACc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
