Very simple. What's your boot loader? Grub or lilo? If grub, you need to fiddle with /boot/grub/menu.lst (or grub.conf). If lilo, it's /etc/lilo.conf Each kernel you can boot will have a stanza in those files. Here's what one of mine looks like: title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.18-1-686 root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-1-686 root=/dev/hda9 ro hdc=scsi vga=1 acpi=off initrd /initrd.img-2.4.18-1-686 savedefault [I have a /boot partition; those two files listed above are in /boot, but grub doesn't know /boot isn't the root partition when the machine boots.] The point is, list the location of your initrd.img in the appropriate kernel stanza, and it should work. If you're using lilo, you'll have to run lilo after changing the .conf file. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
