Had that problem with 2.4.20-3 to (qlogic causing a kernel panic as soon as
its inserted). Prepackaged 2.4.20-1 works fine. I think someone must have
added a bad patch between 2.4.20-1 and 2.4.20-3.
If you get 2.4.21 from kernel.org and compile it with your FS, qlogic SCSI,
and IDE built in (don't add CMD64X to the IDE layer -- see prior email), it
will work fine (or at leat it does for me -- PW500a).
Later -T
PS: As mentioned prior by someone, the cramfs (in kernel.org kernels) doesn't
seem to work with the mkcramfs program. Unless you want to build your own
gziped ext2 initrd image, it's easiest just to compile in the drivers for
your SCSI/IDE system and not use initrd.
