Done that, to no effect. All I'm trying to do is get a freaking kernel compiled and booted. I snarfed 2.4.13 from kernel.org, applied the patches I need successfully, and compiled with make-kpkg. I installed the resulting kernel-image, checked all the linking, built an initrd with mkinitrd, dropped it in /boot, linked to it from where lilo expects it, and ran lilo successfully. At boot, the new kernel cannot find the ramdisk and fails to mount it, then panics. I never had these problems prior to moving to initrd stuff. 8( -- Cerebus
