  thanks for your reply Michael,

  or could it be a busybox issue?

  yes, i found that via the man pages but not how to
actually get the contents unpacked from an existing

  busybox was not installed, the conf file had the
flag set to y.

  i reinstalled busybox, but that made no difference
but after i redid the initramfs's that did fix the
problem.  i now boot without the error message.  :)
