That worked!
I guess the installation of the RPM had an issue with raid1, jbd, and ext3
modules and including them in initrd.
[root@admin root]# uname -a
Linux admin.eleet-tech.com 2.4.21-20.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Dec 2 23:06:40 GMT
2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Thanks for the help! If all goes well over the next few days of testing
this box will become production!
Thanks,

Josh,
Sounds like a strange problem indeed. Off the top of my head, try
running mkinitrd manually for the new kernel (in verbose mode), to make
sure that it is preloading all of the modules necessary to boot your /
filesystem. Specifically make sure it is loading the raid1 module, and
the ext3 module (assuming / is formatted ext3). Also, if your drives
are other than regular IDE (scsi or sata), make sure the appropriate
scsi or sata modules are getting loaded. To run mkinitrd in verbose
mode, just pass it the -v flag. So in this case your command would look
like this:
mkinitrd -f -v /boot/initrd-2.4.21-20.0.1.ELsmp.img 2.4.21-20.0.1.ELsmp
Try that first to make sure the modules are getting loaded.
-Ryan
