Anthony, I don't understand the need for the following patch:
It was just a quick hack. Just to see how far I could get. When I was looking at it, I couldn't find an obvious to have the initrd called.

Adding /linuxrc is not good enough because linuxrc is just run as a kernel thread, and when it exits, the normal init process is run. Running /linuxrc as an init process results in the wrong behavior.

Can we figure out what the root cause of the problem is?
I'll take a look at the code today and see if I can get a proper patch.

Regards,

Thanks,
Ian
