Just to follow up and let everyone know what happened:
ACting on some tips in some of the mail archives Mary linked to, I got rid of the initrd on the grounds that I didn't need it and it was one extra spot where complications could occur... After a reboot, it all works fine I'm tempted to blame redhat's mkinitrd script, but considering the amount of time i spent trying to find out how to learn it (~2 minutes), it's probably more to do with me than redhat the lesson here would seem to be something I should have learnt ages ago - KISS - if you don't need an initrd, don't use one. Thanks to the people who pointed me in the right direction :) -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
