The command line was: mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img `uname -r` That was on an, otherwise, working machine. The first uname being used to set the right filename, the second being to associate it with the right version of the kernel (as far as I read the man page about this). NB: Those are backticks or grave accents used on the command line, they are NOT apostrophes nor single quotes. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ rm -rfd /*^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Huname -ipr 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7. Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
