The problem seems to be with the new mkinitrd and friends. When I installed 2.4.18-19.8.0 errata rpm the initrd that was created as the package installed worked fine. (and still does) It's only since upgrading other packages to satisfy 2.4.20 rawhide dependencies that mkinitrd has failed to create a working initrd for either the stock 2.4.18 athlon kernel, or the stock 2.4.20 athlon kernel from rawhide The set of tools below doesn't create a working initrd for either 2.4.18 or 2.4.20 unless aic7xxx and ext3 are compiled in to the kernel. Downgrading mkinitrd by itself with "rpm -Uvh --oldpackage --nodeps mkinitrd-3.4.28-1.i386.rpm" does NOT resolve the problem. mkinitrd-3.4.33-1 Sun Jan 5 07:50:42 2003 kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-11 Thu Jan 2 14:36:21 2003 kudzu-0.99.83-1 Thu Jan 2 14:36:19 2003 hwdata-0.64-1 Thu Jan 2 14:36:18 2003 modutils-devel-2.4.22-1 Mon Dec 30 13:49:28 2002 modutils-2.4.22-1 The older RH8.0 stock versions of the above packages DID create a working initrd every time.
