It helped indeed. But i'd like to add a few comments: - the system i am using right now runs a custom kernel and now apprently works well, after a manual mkinitrd command; - another system where i did the very same things is not working yet. Still failing to generate the correct initrd. Apparently there is no /lib/modules tree on that system. Strange, isn't it? Any idea on how to proceed now with the missing /lib/modules thing? Thanks a lot E.
