Hi Pasi -- I'll need to dig up a 32-bit FC13 config file to prove it, but my experience with other 32-bit and 64-bit config files predicts that the same process for 32-bit will work fine (with the same root=3D parameter). But I hadn't noticed the problem in the earlier part of the boot before you pointed it out. I'm beginning to suspect that there is a bug in 64-bit upstream kernels that is exposed in nash (the lightweight shell that gets bundled in a RedHat initrd). If so, it will be very difficult to track down, though clearly it is fixed in one of the many Fedora kernel patches. So I am going to give up on 64-bit upstream kernels for now so I can get some other things done and come back to this later. Thanks, Dan
