Hi Richard.

I had a kernel patch and i need to test in the latest kernel.
Before that i am trying to bring the kernel 2.6.x up and running.
That is all i want to do.

By the way 
vmlinux -- is the kernel 
vmlinuz --- is the boot sector. 

Why initrd is needed ? 
While mkinitrd, I am getting the error /dev/mapper not found, But
still it makes the initrd image.

Thanks
Amrith
