Hi, I=B4ve found the "problem". I=B4ve just taked out the "^" of the FDEV var= before the "[sh]d[a-f][1-9]" expression and made the initrd.gz again !!! It wor= ked out ! I can=B4t say that this is a bug.... but didn=B4t work for me. :) > FDEV=3D`dmesg | grep -v LDM | grep "[sh]d[a-f][1-9]" | cut -d':' -f2 | = sort | uniq` # FIXED # changed by aguiarg Now I have another problem... I=B4m trying to load my modules at c:\trinux\bootpkg\*.tgz but they dont get loaded. I still working on it b= ut I think it=B4s strange. Is there any special configuration ? I=B4ve just = mounted my floppy and copyed tux dir to c:\trinux; (I=B4ve tryed to change atound= but didn=B4t made any good) My network doesn=B4t start even configuring dhcp (config/eth0 -> dhcp) an= d loading the dhcpcd.tgz with pkgadd. Can anyone give me a help ?
