Did you build this while compiling the kernel ? I mean using the same System.map file. It seems that you created a new image at /boot/ location ? try without initrd image. Mostly various distributions have different method for creating initrd image. -Vin On Apr 7, 2005 6:59 AM, Harsha Srinath <harsha@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Thanks for the note, Tsai.
