Also checking a bit more reveals that the "quiet" option was removed from the kopt settings. If there were more custom options - would they survive? -# kopt=root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet +# kopt=root=UUID=bfc4d8de-5304-4285-adf0-1a5f7f57e765 ro Also what would happen to static stanzas before/after the automagic list? There were none in my case. Andreas
