Well, this is weird indeed.

Here it goes:

- at job i run a custom kernel, i had to manually mkinitrd (thanks to a
clean and extremely helpful - to me! - post here on the list) and looks
to be working fine. Still some mess in loading modules on startup, but i
guess it has to do with some 'hurry' of mine in configuring.

- LABEL is fully supported with RAM disk as you suggested (hitn: put it
somewhere on a FAQ! :) )

- at home, no way. Still fails to mkinitrd, and can't build a initrd
image manually. System complains that it can't find aic7xxx module.
However, modulues seem to be there in /lib/modules, and it is definitely
a major problem as this is a pure SCSI box.

I am trying one last time, compiling aic7xxx support as a module. Then
i'll try *again* to erase and reinstall kernel source from rpm. After
this, i'd be kinda lost.

Need help. :)

Thanks to everybody, at least now FC1 rpm kernels compile. ;)
