Then since the Ubuntu kernel config requires an initramfs: cd to /boot, su to root, then: mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-2.6.17-rt3-smp-noipv6 2.6.17-rt3-smp-noipv6 /boot/grub/menu.lst will already have been updated when you installed the .deb, just add a line like: initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-rt3-smp-noipv6 HTH, Lee
