As Johnny five would say, "More input!"

"How" are you upgrading?

rpm -i
or
rpm -u

because if it is "-u" that is the reason you are having problems. You have
to do an "-i" install if you want the kernel to work.

I am trying to upgrade my current  2.2.15-4mdksecure kernel to

for my scsi drive, etc.) , I get an error:

#mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.0-0.13.img 2.4.0-0.13mdk
error: -d option is not supported on Linux
error: -d option is not supported on Linux
Error creating temporaries.  Try again

I upgraded (in order) mkinitrd, SysVinit, initscripts, kernel, and
kernel-docs via rpm
before this with no problem. The strange thing is that I got the same
error trying to do mkinitrd on another machine earlier today.

Am I using the wrong command syntax?

Any help appreciated,

Victor
