Re: Trying to build 2.5.46

I did the mkinitrd to create a new image (mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.5.46.img
2.5.46).  I then edited the initrd accordingly in grub.conf.  As for my
setup, I know my primary controller is indeed a Promise SCSI/IDE controller.
And lines 13-16 do represent my original working configuration.  When I
rebooted, I got the same error as before.  There is some information leading
up to this that may also be useful.  Are these messages logged somewhere?
If so, I can post that and that might help.  Also, I was playing with a lot
of configuration options without really knowing what I was doing, so is it
possible I screwed up something there?
