Hello group,

After I delved into this a bit farther, I learned the above is a bit
ambiguous.

I boot from a scsi partition with an initrd image and ram disk, standard
stuff.  Kernel finds the initrd image but fails to insmod the
aic7xxx driver. Error message goes something like "failed to modprobe
block-major-8" and "failed to modprobe binfmt-0000".

I believe the initrd image that I am creating has the wrong magic number
or something similar.  I have been creating it the same way for all of
the last kernel versions I've used.  Has something changed or is there
an updated copy of mkinitrd that I need to use?  Are there other config
switches to this kernel version I need to specify?

(RHL6, egcs 2.95)
