Strange. Try
mk_initrd -d /dev/hda3
and see if that helps
ok, Rescue:/# mk_initrd -d /dev/hda3 cat: /proc/modules: No such file or directory cat: /proc/modules: No such file or directory using "/dev/hda3" as root device (mounted on "/" as "reiserfs") creating initrd "/boot/initrd" for kernel "/boot/vmlinuz" (2.4.19-4GB) -insmod reiserfs (lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB/kernel/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.o) -insmod ide-scsi (lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB/kernel/drivers/scsi/ide-scsi.o) -slpash picture (1024x768) creating initrd "/boot/initrd.shipped" for kernel "/boot/vmlinuz.shipped"(2.4.19-4GB) -insmod reiserfs (lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB/kernel/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.o) -insmod ide-scsi (lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB/kernel/drivers/scsi/ide-scsi.o) -splash picture (1024x768) I like the looks of that. It boots too! I ran mk_initrd once more after rebooting and didn't get any of those "cat: /proc ...." lines I won't be making that mistake again! THANK YOU -Luke Tilsley
