Two things: 1. Use GRUB. It is better. It is easier to configure. It doesn't require a reinstall for every new kernel. 2. Don't make an initrd unless you have a really good reason (e.g., you want / on LVM or LVM+RAID, or you also need the kernel to fit on a floppy and you can't get the core small enough). Now, on to sloving the problem. What filesystem is your / partition? What filesystems are you buidling with the kernel? If they are modules, are you sure that they are in the initrd? What are the contents of your initrd and what is your kernel config? -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~sanchezr
