What was the exact command you used to create the initrd.img?  You
probably need to add `--with=ext3` if you have ext3 partitions, and
`preload raid1` if you have raid 1.

All I apologize in my zeal to get this out there so I can get a
resolution I did skip a step above.  PLEASE NOTE I DID DO A MAKE bzImage
immediately after the "make dep".  The "mkinitrd" command was as
follows: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.19.img  2.4.19.  One question here is
am I using ext3 -> Yes, by the above statement I am guessing that is
part of my problem.

Try:
mkinitrd --with=ext3 /boot/initrd-2.4.19.img 2.4.19

You shouldn't have to recompile the kernel again, just use the new initrd.img.
