Evening all,

As we're all in one big happy community, tis time for some knowledge
sharing (Appologies if this is known, but for a few of us earlier
today it wasn't) :)

With Alpha 3 and also upgrading to latest Factory, initrd get's lost
in the process - an issue that is being sorted out I believe, for
reference there is Bug #372688 [0].

The workaround that Vincent came up with and I have verified it on two
machines is as follows:

1. Boot your system from CD/DVD into "Rescue Mode"
2. mount /dev/sdaX /mnt && mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc && mount
--bind /sys /mnt/sys && mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev && chroot /mnt
3. mkinitrd -k /boot/vmlinuz-<kernel_version> -i
/boot/initrd-<kernel_version>  (Please replace <kernel_version> with
your actual version, as of 1730Z 20Mar2008 mine was
2.6.25-rc5-git3-6-pae)
4. Reboot

Hope this helps :)
