It doesn't work here either. Package maintainer Herbert Xu told me it was a bug in the initrd-tools package and to fixed in the future. Bummer, since I have not problems with 2.4.18-686 on another machine, just can't run it here. ext3 should really be comiled into kernel-image-2.4.18-386 please!!! -Andre
