Hello, Have you any suspicious message in the output from mkbootdisk.pl ? Maybe you can post the log here.
I'm affraid the only solution to have more inforamtion is to uncompress the initrd and look what's inside... gunzip -d initrd.gz mkdir tmp mount -o loop initrd tmp I think you will be especially interest by the linuxrc in here...
