    Hi,

    I tried to make a initrd (root has to stay in ram) image by hand, following
    the suggestions of the bootdisk HOWTO. So I copied almost everything to my
    image, but when I boot I am prompted to type in my login name. But after doing
    so I receive four lines of "Login incorrect" (automaticly) and then "Maximum
    number of liens exceeded".

    Can someone tell me what could be wrong?

    I copied /etc/passwd & /etc/shadow, as well as all libs under /lib/security
    &/lib/*
    I think the error occures because of the pam, but I could be wrong. Is there a
    way to find out?
    Thx Pir
