Compare it to the kernel line from F12 above. You probably need to specify at *least* the root= part as well for the kernel to find the correct root partition to use when you boot. It even shows you this in the example in the comment above that. > initrd /boot/F13initrd.img > > > > as a result of all this, when I'm trying to boot into new kernel I'm > getting > > Error 13: > Invalid or unsupported executable format. Need more information from around this error to determine the actual problem. If your kernel is unable to find the proper root partition, who knows what file it might try and find to execute, possibly resulting in the error message you are seeing. > any suggestions are appreciated -- Kevin J.
