FWIW: Just brought up Hardy alpha6 on my test machine... Fresh install &
all seemed to go well. Then I allowed it to do to web updates: 1) xorg
server problems (sorted out), 2) your favorite - Busybox initramfs. I'll
sort it out tomorrow, but just thought you'd like to know you are not
alone :-) Hey... it's alpha after all eh?
