The way I would probably handle it on my system... mkinitrd initrd-2.6.18-1.2239.fc5.img.custom 2.6.18-1.2239.fc5 cp initrd-2.6.18-1.2239.fc5.img initrd-2.6.18-1.2239.fc5.img.saved mv initrd-2.6.18-1.2239.fc5.img.custom initrd-2.6.18-1.2239.fc5.img Though I have learned to check the contents of /etc/modprobe.conf to make certain that things are the way that I want before I execute mkinitrd Craig
