Thanks to everybody who replied... you all helped! I got the new
rescue disk working...
As the "readme.txt" says on the rescue disk I built a kernel with
ramdisk and initrd along with the IDE, SCSI, and filesystem stuff I

I see this is your second reques
If the stock 1.3.1 Rescue disk will not boot up a system with an
