Removed the offending IDE controller, now getting the error below. Looks like I need to create a NEW initrd image. I'll have to admit, I've done it before but it this is the first time I've ever gotten and 'error' for 'not' doing it. I do have everything rolled into the kernel to boot without a initrd but in the past I've never had that to work, so I'll stick with it for now. *thank God for ccache* TCP cubic registered rtc-test rtc-test.0: setting system clock to 2010-03-16 16:51:13 UTC (1268758273) Freeing unused kernel memory: 208k freed Red Hat nash version 5.0.32 starting Mounting proc filesystem Mounting sysfs filesystem Creating /dev Creating initial device nodes Setting up hotplug.
