Marius,
you have no module entries in the file /etc/sysconfig/kernel for the variable INITRD_MODULES (most likely there is only INITRD_MODULES = "" in the file). Gernerally, this is no prblem. It simply means that for your computer no additional drivers are required. The script mk_initrd detects this and gives the message that no initrd is required.
Ok, then it had nothing to do with the athlon-kernel. I was wondering why the initrd existed on the other boxes with athlon-kernels. In these two machines we are using hardware-raid-controller which are - as I understood it correctly - loaded into the ramdisk, right?
Unfortunately there is still the entry in grub's config file /boot/grub/menu.lst So grub expects to find an initrd which is not present. To fix this, simply comment out the line(s) starting with 'initrd' in the menu.lst file (put a '#' at the beginning of the line(s)).
I did it with YaST and deleted the initrd-sections. Now it works fine. Thank you for your help. I didn't know that initrd is not needed on that box. Thanks. Regards Marius Heidenstecker

Ok, I downdated the system to the original Kernel to be found on cd. Then I tried to install the kernel downloaded at
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/i386/update/9.0/rpm/i586/k_deflt-2.4.21-19 2.i586.rpm
But I still have the same problem. When I do
mybox:~ # rpm -Uhv k_deflt-2.4.21-192.i586.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:k_deflt ########################################### [100%] Changing symlink /boot/vmlinuz from vmlinuz-2.4.21-99-default to vmlinuz-2.4.21-192-default Changing symlink /boot/initrd from initrd-2.4.21-99-default to initrd-2.4.21-192-default Root device: /dev/hda6 (mounted on / as ext2) No initrd required Using grub, re-install of bootloader not required.
And no initrd is there in /boot. And another mkinitrd outputs
Root device: /dev/hda6 (mounted on / as ext2) No initrd required
I don't have another box which would need the default kernel so I can't figure out wether it's the default kernel package or my box. Does anybody have the the same problem? Could someone please help me?
Thanx.
Kind regards Marius Heidenstecker
