Thanks for the reply Lonni, I have IDE drives and the cd's are compiled in as scsi hd's as ide, initrd was called from /boot /usr/libexec/modules/mkinitrd.sh 2.4.18................ am using ext3...................... >From the kernel config file:: CONFIG_IDE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=m CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE=y CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y I am sure the foirst time that i compiled this kernel and it would not run was with the config from 2.4.17, which does run fine!! -- Keith Antoine (GANDALF) aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
