Well, if you were building for kernel 2.6.26.3-14.f8, you would run:
mkinitrd /boot/test.img 2.6.26.3-14.f8
Then you would have something like this in grub.conf (excuse the
line wrap):
title New Board
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26.3-14.fc8 ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
initrd /test.img
title Fedora (2.6.26.3-14.fc8)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26.3-14.fc8 ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.26.3-14.fc8.img
You your F10 kernel instead of the F8 one listed here. Make sure you
do it with the new motherboard.
