exactly? i posted everything that i can see in the console. But i can tell you 
that this by hand tool is using /sbin/generate-modprobe.conf to generate it 
by hand and this tool is starting a lot of sub threads and each subthread is 
growing by its own. Then after ~1min of calculating stuff my memory is gone 
and i have to reboot, becouse neither my mouse nor my keyboard is doing stuff

Why? Its used for the minimal installation cd of gentoo. (I got it from 
their .spec - file). This is exactly what i want a minimal linux system with 
nothing then a bootup that detects all my hardware loads all modules and as a 
plus it should have a xinit to start a x based application (yes i know adding 
X will increase the minimal CD by aprox. 25MB). 

We (me and my roommate) are trying to build a small gentoo-based bootcd with 
xinit. I hoped it could be easy to use catalyst, just some work on spec files 
and then let catalyst do all the work instead of our collection of shell 
scripts. I still hope it could be done this way couse sharing spec files is a 
lot easier then sharing shell scripts and a not so simple howto
