    mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.3-10tom.img 2.4.3-10tom

    I compiled 2.4.3-10mdk from source, editing   EXTRAVERSION = -10tom  
in the Makefile.  If I'd installed the readymade kernel, I would have left 
it as -10mdk.

    If your /boot/vmlinux points to vmlinux-2.4.0, then you'd run

    mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.0.img 2.4.0
