Thanks Stew,

I have reinstall MDK with the benh kernel and now it boots fine.

The only problem that have found with the install is that it can not
find the modules for the benh kernel.  There is no
/lib/modules/2.4.20-benh-9mdk directory, only a
/lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk.

OK,

I guess my vague hint about using the correct initrd didn't help?

/me goes looking for PPC CD1:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ls /mnt/cdrom/BootX/
initrd-2.4.20-benh-9mdk.ext2  initrd-2.4.21-0.13mdk.jfs
initrd-2.4.20-benh-9mdk.ext3  initrd-2.4.21-0.13mdk.rfs
initrd-2.4.20-benh-9mdk.jfs   initrd-2.4.21-0.13mdk.xfs
initrd-2.4.20-benh-9mdk.rfs   Mandrake_Linux_Install.sit
initrd-2.4.20-benh-9mdk.xfs   vmlinuz-2.4.20-benh-9mdk*
initrd-2.4.21-0.13mdk.ext2    vmlinuz-2.4.21-0.13mdk*
initrd-2.4.21-0.13mdk.ext3

I provided initrd images for all the various filesystems.  The drivers
are 
modular, so you need the correct initrd to be able to mount / and finish

the boot.  Are you using the ext3 one?
