I saw some responses like that, however, my current liveusb is i386 and the install is x86_64. I tried bascially a full copy of my working system's /boot which was actually used to boot on THAT hardware until yesterday and it had the same issue. i.e. New HW -> My Desktop, My old Desktop HW -> MythBox. So the initrd I copied over to it was actually used to boot on that very same hardware. I'll have to re download F10 x86_64 as I had to delete it for space a while ago. I'll try mkinitrd but I have some doubts, unless someone can find fault with copying over a working /boot (which was used on that specific hardware previously).
