In a work directory: gzip -dc <initrd name> | cpio -idmc Down in the resulting directory, there is an init file. Locate the ignorelockingfailure and change the VG name there. Still in the top level working directory (<the created initrd dir/..>) find <initdirname> | cpio -oac | gzip --best ><new initrd name> Move it to the boot dir, change grub.conf appropriately. More perilous, but possible: make it the same name (pls save the original somewhere) and no grub name change needed. > ><snip> HTH -- Bill
