Thanks for your response. What version of mkinitrd should I be using for 2.6.28?

I seem to have SCSI support built into the kernel (I THINK, I sent my config file just a moment ago) so I thought thats why mkinitrd was giving out. Looking at fstab is telling me my root file system is ext3:
# /dev/sda2
UUID=fa619a11-1e18-4044-aada-f953cb31d195 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
Thanks again,

[mulyadi@mulyadi ~]$ cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`
[mulyadi@mulyadi 2.6.27.12-78.2.8.fc9.i686]$ find | grep -i sg
./kernel/drivers/media/video/videobuf-dma-sg.ko
./kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.ko
./kernel/drivers/scsi/sg.ko
so it seems that sg.ko has something to do with SCSI. are you sure you
have enabled everything related to SCSI? I can't give any hints about
it, so I think other people could help better here.
my other suspicion is, you need to upgrade your mkinitrd to somehow
match the installed kernel version.
Here's my confusion. When I looked the above messages, I think that

you also forgot to compile certain filesystem types. What's the
filesystem type of your root filesystem anyway? and if it's compiled
as kernel modules, are you sure it's included in the initrd image?
