What commands, modules, etc. I always use update-initramfs because it's the official solution suggested and installed with Debian, but I don't mind making my own if it solves the problem. > Perhaps the speakup kernel is badly configured no idea. > I'm using the standard Debian kernel 2.6.25-2-686, so I'm not sure what you mean. It uses Speakup modules, also standard supplied with Debian. It has no problem adding my LVM volumes on boot, it just won't mount /dev/mapper/main-root as my root device under /root in the initramfs image like it's supposed to. I can do it manually and it works fine. I specifically told it to add the xfs and dm_mod mdoules. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
