The command rdev can change the default root partition on x86 linux systems with pre-built kernels.

Of course...I meant I don't know of anything like that for PPC.

About the CONFIG_CMDLINE in the kernel configuration, I found it in lots of files in the kernel source tree and I'd like to know which file I need to change this value (/usr/src/linux/arch/ppc64/defconfig ?).

Probably just in your .config file:

	cp arch/ppc64/defconfig .config
	vi .config # Change CONFIG_CMDLINE here
	make oldconfig

According to this doc: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/eserver/library/es-SW_RAID_LINUX.html, ppc64 can use zImage-style boot wrapper, so I'm trying it.

Cool...I think you will like having that as an option.

John,

I made the changes in the kernel that you recomended and the server boots ok!

Thank's a lot.
