Yes, and I'm pointing lilo to the initrd, and can mount and read the
initrd on its own.

You don't mean root=/dev/ram0 instead of root=/dev/md1, right?

This is why I was asking about lilo some time ago. I'm using the
latest, but that's from 2007. Is it possible that it has a problem
with this kernel?

This box does work with an older 2.6.12 kernel that I built more than
a year ago with the otherwise same system, including lilo.

Thanks,
Alex
