Thanks for the replies.
I made a folder called /initrd and the thing booted past that.
I upgraded the kernel to the .smp version and reinstalled xfs again and grub
But it still hangs on the starting xfs
here are the ouputs you asked for, Micheal
->copy of grub.conf (before I have upgraded to kernel.smp)
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,5)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda8
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=10

Using /dev/hda
Warning: The operating system thinks the geometry on /dev/hda is 5169/240/63.
Therefore, cylinder
1024 ends at 7559.999M. You have Windows FAT partition(s) that are not using LBA. If
your BIOS
supports LBA, then you should switch to LBA by setting the LBA flag on all FAT
partitions.
Otherwise, make sure the operating system and the BIOS have the same geometry before
resizing any
FAT partitions.

check MINOR do a simple check on the filesystem
cp [FROM-DEVICE] FROM-MINOR TO-MINOR copy filesystem to another partition
help [COMMAND] prints general help, or help on COMMAND
mklabel LABEL-TYPE create a new disklabel (partition table)
mkfs MINOR FS-TYPE make a filesystem FS-TYPE on partititon MINOR
mkpart PART-TYPE [FS-TYPE] START END make a partition
mkpartfs PART-TYPE FS-TYPE START END make a partition with a filesystem
move MINOR START [END] move partition MINOR
name MINOR NAME name partition MINOR NAME
print display the partition table
quit exit program
resize MINOR START END resize filesystem on partition MINOR
rm MINOR delete partition MINOR
select DEVICE choose the device to edit
set MINOR FLAG STATE change a flag on partition MINOR

xfs starts OK from /etc/rc0.d/K10xfs restart
I tried moving xfs out of xinit.d then I thought I could start it later, but then the
file xfs didnt exist
Thanks for your help
