Hi.

Just to inform that I finally generated an initrd image that could be
loaded at boot, which instantiated successfully the ext2/ext3 FS's, so
they don't longer need to be compiled built in.  So for desktops it
looks OK.

Bad news for me at least, is that the initrd image generated does not
support kernel suspend to disk, I don't know about the user suspend to
disk which I don't use any ways.  so for laptops the initrd suipport
is not yet there, :(.

I'll continue without initrd until it's indicated it supports kernel
suspend to disk...


Thanks a lot David,
