I'm not sure, but it could be. I think the current initrd still uses the available insmod instead of trying to do the syscalls internally, so that shouldn't be a problem. But, nash doesn't do command line arguments exactly identical to bash so I had to play with the command line argument escaping in the past to get it to work right in nash. But, try adding ash.static to your initrd, then as the last line in linuxrc call ash.static and it will drop you to a shell prompt where you can attempt to perform the insmod by hand and see if you can get it to work before the kernel panics for lack of a root device. -- Doug Ledford 919-754-3700 x44233 Red Hat, Inc. 1801 Varsity Dr. Raleigh, NC 27606
