(I think that is the error msg it uses) I have not used 'make install' at the end, but it probably creates the initrd file, however, if your moving the kernel and System.map then you will also need to use mkinitrd (see 'man mkinitrd'). -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
