hi,
I am unable to boot FC6T3 x86-64... on (AMD64X2, 4GB DDR2, SATA II, Asus
M2N-E)
The initrd image is missing in /boot directory.
I have tried to fix the issue by creating initrd image as suggested by alan

I've been unsuccessful in installing t3 from dvd on a standard intel

( not root ) that's lvm. I asssume this will all be fixed for t4.
Has anybody figured out how to install before then?
Yep. I posted it earlier.
After you do the install, boot with the "rescue option" on the install dvd.
When you get a prompt:
chroot /mnt/sysmount
cd /boot
mkinitrd --image-version --nocompress initrd `uname -r`
Then add this line to the /etc/grub.conf entry:
initrd /initrd-<kernelversion>
save, sync and reboot.

with following result:

Any ideas how to make FC6T3 boot?
Have you tried without the "--nocompress" option?
