Hi Pavan, First create a initrd image using the following command. mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.21-13.img 2.4.21-13 then in the lilo.conf give initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.21-13.img Till my knowledge goes there is no mkinitrd field. I think you meant the initrd field so i have specified the reply according to it. Dear group members do correct me if i am wrong.
