What does Redhat do with their set up? sheesh...I love the polish  but
what is diffrent in the kernel set up proccess from debian to redhat?

I am getting a new kernel panic now after I made the root=/dev/hda1
change

not I get:

warning: unable to open initial console.
kernel panic: no init found. try passing "init=" option to kernel

I changed to lilo hoping I was just Grub but it is not...it is something
with how RH sets up the system that I am not privy to.

here is my lilo.conf:

prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
linear
                                                                                
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8
        label=linux
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-8.img
        read-only
        append="hdc=ide-scsi root=LABEL=/"
                                                                                
image=/boot/vmlinuz2.4.20-ck
        label=linux-ck
        read-only
        append="hdc=ide-scsi root=/dev/hda1"

does it have to do with the initrd? could some one explain to me what it
is that the initial ramdisk does? and why I need one if I do.

also, "mkinitrd /boot/initrd2.4.20-ck.img linux-2.4.20" as I saw above
told me something about linux-2.4.20/<blah>/<blah>/ is not a directory.

thanks,

Jeremy
