well, after doing that, it got "further" into the boot i guess you might
say. still exits usplash at the same time (mounting root) but now theres
more console output. here it is:

+echo
+/sbin/udev --daemon
+ . /conf/initramfs.conf
+BUSYBOX=y
+BOOT=local
+MODULES=most
+DEVICE=eth0
+NFSROOT=auto
RESUME=/dev/sda5
+root_type=scsi
+/sbin/udevplug -Bide -Bscsi -Bi20 -Busb -Bieee1394 -Mem -Cmisc -Ctty
-Cvc -b
+/sbin/udevplug -Bpci -Iclass-0x01*
+[ -e /dev/sda1]
+log_begin_msg Waiting for root file system
/scripts/init-premount/udev: 122: log_begin_msg: not found
ALERT! /dev/sda1 does not exist Dropping to a shell!

And with that i'm left at a busybox shell


Thanks.
