Thanks for your reply, Wang |

You are probably right, because using the grub console interface, it was |
| 28 |
possible to mount any other partitions using commands like |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
root=(hd0,msdos5) |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I have used genkernel to build both the kernel and the initramfs, so I |
| 33 |
don't know what could be wrong. In fact, I have never tried to build my own |
| 34 |
initramfs. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Any hints on how to diagnose a initramfs? AFAIK it is a filesystem. How |
| 37 |
can I mount it to check its contents? |
| 38 |

Thanks again, |
