I never rebuild initrd before. II gather that this is something the kernel rpm install script does and since I fiddled modprobe.conf afterword, I broke an unproken promise to the kernel. I hope this syntax was correct, because I'm about to reboot. [root@pols125 pauljohn]# /sbin/new-kernel-pkg -v --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp initrdfile is /boot/initrd-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp.img running depmod for 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp creating initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp.img using 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp found /boot/initrd-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp.img and using it with grubby adding 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp to /boot/grub/grub.conf /etc/lilo.conf does not exist, not running grubby On 8/15/06, Brian Millett <bmillett@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

My boot line from grub: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp ro root=/dev/bikinibottom/root vga=0x31a quiet hdc=noprobe I'm using the nvidia drivers from atrpms. Works in my office.
