I noticed that there's no "initrd" entry in my new (grub)entry. Tried to
creat initrd image using,

	#mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.7 2.6.7
	cpio: /etc/modprobe.conf: No such file or directory
	cpio: /lib/modules/modprobe.conf: No such file or directory

So I created some symbolic links,

#ln -s /etc/modprobe.d/ /etc/modprobe.conf
#ln -s /lib/modules/2.6.7/modules.alias /lib/modules/modprobe.conf

Then did,
#mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.7 2.6.7

It worked without any problem. Then I edit my /boot/grub/menu.lst
accordingly..,

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.7-morpheus (recovery mode)
root            (hd0,4)
kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.7-morpheus root=/dev/hda1 ro single
inird		/initrd.img-2.6.7
savedefault
boot

That's all, it worked!

Can some one explain this? Was it my problem or a Debian problem?
