I was right the first time: it was something I'd done - a typo in /boot/loader/ entries/. (My eyes just get worse all the time. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.) Now, though, the system gets as far as populating /dev and hangs. So, back to SysRescCD and check that devfs is selected, and it is. I'll go through the kernel config yet again and see what I may have missed. -- Regards, Peter.
