I tried, but unfortunately I don't know enough to figure it out :-( I ran chroot /mnt/sysimage. I read 'man mkinitrd', but I cannot work out what parameters to use. I tried 'mkinitrd -vf', but it just returned to the prompt silently. I rebooted, but nothing had changed. I cannot see anything in /boot - it seems that it is not mounted, and I don't know how to mount it manually. /etc/fstab shows a UUID number. It is not that important for me to get this working - I don't mind re-installing from scratch. However, it would be nice to know how to solve this problem for the future, in case it ever happens with live data involved. For example, a mother board could fail, but the HDD is intact, so you just want to move it to a new machine. BTW, getting it to work off the old machine is not important, so a simple re-generation of the image is sufficient. Any assistance will be appreciated.
