Re: Problem with mkinitrd / modutils - broken initrd's 2.4.18 &2.4.20

[Adam Manock <abmanock@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

cat /etc/fstab
LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults       
1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults
...
...

/ and /boot are mounted fine. I don't think labels are the problem. I
certainly haven't changed the partitioning of this box since the October
RH8 install. Therefore labels should be as disk druid / the RH installer
left them.

Grub finds / just fine to load the original initrd also.

If I make a change like:

title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-19.8.0)
        root (hd0,2)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-19.8.0 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
        initrd /initrd-2.4.18-19.8.0.img.bogus

I get different errors, without the kernel booting through the IDE stuff
first. :-)
