Google was no help either tho I found others with the same issues but no fix. Right now I am using the dracut thingy. If it breaks, I have no idea how to fix it. That's one reason why I left Mandrake, the init thingy kept breaking every few months. Then after one upgrade, I was just fed up. I moved on. Keep in mind, this is Dale, the one that has issues with things. lol Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
