And the loop back device. After several kernel recompiles with
re-boot (shades of Windows), mk_initrd ran without error. If you have
a heavily modified kernel configuration, I suggest booting into
/boot/vmlinuz.suse, and then following the script on how to upgrade
7.1 to 2.2.19.

I am trying to upgrade my SuSE 7.1 system to 2.2.19, according to SuSE-SA:2001:039. At Step 10, configuring and creating the initrd, I get the output:
using "/dev/hda4" as root device (mounted on "/")
creating initrd "//boot/initrd" for kernel "//boot/vmlinuz" (2.2.19) failed to mount image
Note: the root partition is ReiserFS and /boot is ext2fs. I do NOT have RAM disk and initrd support compiled in the running kernel. Is this my problem?
Yes...
