Hi, Try these steps: - Go to /usr/src/linux-2.4.18 - Run 'make mrproper' to clean up - Run 'make menuconfig' and go to Load an alternate configuration file - Enter: /usr/src/linux-2.4.18.SuSE/.config - Exit and compile with 'make dep clean bzImage modules' - Do 'cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.18/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz' - Do 'make modules_install' and 'mkinitrd' and 'lilo'. The reason for the Failed to mount image error is often that one of these are not selected: Block Devices - Loopback device support, Initial RAM disk support Also try to check the error messages from mkinitrd that Anders J. suggested. Regards, Jostein

Have you enabled 'loop' either built-in or as a module? mk_initrd will not work without it.
I've tried this but no luck.
Note. Running mkinitrd fails even on the default SuSE kernel.
