Hi SuSErs I have just installed RPM for todays default kernel. but, when I execute /sbin/mk_initrd am getting this error :- ______________ # mkinitrd using "/dev/hda7" as root device (mounted on "/" as "reiserfs") creating initrd "//boot/initrd" for kernel "//boot/vmlinuz" (2.4.18-4GB) failed to mount image ...................................... Please, any ideas, What am I doing wrong ? also, please, which kernel should i ask LILO to load ~ the vmlinuz, or, vmlinuz.suse ? many thanks best wishes, rh ____________ sent on Linux ____________

Please edit /sbin/mk_initrd, find the mount commands at lines 416 and 419, remove "2>/dev/null", save, run /sbin/mk_initrd and post the error message you're getting [1]
also, please, which kernel should i ask LILO to load ~ the vmlinuz, or, vmlinuz.suse ?
They should be identical, if you installed from rpm. //Anders [1] To any SuSErs that may be listening: What in the name of $£@½ is the point of filtering out the error messages?

I have my manualy created script 'mk_initrd.sh' to make INTRD image. 1. You should touch version kernel in ver="<new_version_kernel>" 2. When build the kernel you should compile modules as module <M> and insert for modules. 3.
