Are you sure you have use for an initrd, I'd say 99% of the people don't

Subject: [gentoo-user] mkinitrd

 

I,m new to this so be gentle. Having come from a point and click SuSE
   

install.
 

I,ve installed Gentoo 1.4 stage3 OK but I want to recompile a 2.6 or
   

2.4.22
 

smp kernel in place of the genkernel that I installed.

Now that I have emerged mkinitrd I get
"all your loop back devices are busy"
when I do
       mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.22  gentoo-2.4.22-r3
RTFM or just a prod in the right direction will be most appreciated.
