This is probably becuse your kernel doesn't have the ext2 driver compiled in. > Now what? Perhaps this is because I already have an initrd image > specified for a default boot: initrd.img-2.6.20.4.

If you want to regenerate it, you can use the mkinitrd script (surely available in your distribution). > I think I'm doing something wrong. Help? ): Generally speaking, either you load some modules from the initrd or you have to compile all of the relevant drivers into the kernel. If you want to use the resume initrd, you need to check what's loaded from your existing initrd (or initramfs) and compaile all of these things directly into the kernel.
