Hi Michael, I assume, like me, you've just upgrade your kernel to 2.6.25. By doing that, you also needed a new udev ( probably v120 ) and with it, new mkinitrd versions, among others. Since you claimed you installed kernel from KOTD, I'm assuming you installed all of required dependencies. When I upgraded, I also had an mkinitrd problem. Not like yours but lets see if my solution also works for you. It seems, according to your menu.lst file, that you've been doing upgrade after upgrades. Clean that file to just hold your needed boot options ( just an example ): # Modified by YaST2.

Keep it simple. I also removed the XEN entry - Add it if all works well. After all this is done, just issue as root, the mkinitrd command and check if all builds well. You should also take Joe Morris advice into consideration. Do not use resume on a SW-RAID swap. Hope this helps you, Rui Santos Michael Fischer wrote:

Hi Michael,
Could you please paste your grub's menu.lst file ( or lilo's, ou whatever ) ?
