Hi,
Just to be sure: do I create the /initrd dir in the /boot dir?
Would it matter if i have the same your README.WARNING file in it?
Maybe i don't get it but why is a simple text file in /initrd would take that 
error message away? Is it related to the fact that i changed the kernel for a 
new one (kernel-2.4.8.31.2 on ML 8.0)
Thanx.
Song
