Also it could simply be a matter of not having a configuration line in the lilo.conf file to load the initrd... The latest version of lilo gives messages such as the following when run with the -v option, so a kernel package could check that the initrd was mapped for an initrd kernel... Boot image: /vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-lsm Mapping RAM disk /initrd.img -> boot/initrd.img-2.4.18-lsm -- If you send email to me or to a mailing list that I use which has >4 lines of legalistic junk at the end then you are specifically authorizing me to do whatever I wish with the message and all other messages from your domain, by posting the message you agree that your long legalistic sig is void. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
