Use "diff" to quickly notice the differences. My guesses, you forgot to compile or include RAID, LVM, or certain filesystem supports. Make sure your initrd is created against the correct kernel tree and make sure. Also, try to make sure it's hda1... possibly it's now renamed into sda1 (hd* into sd* due to new libata). regards, Mulyadi. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
