All I apologize in my zeal to get this out there so I can get a
resolution I did skip a step above.  PLEASE NOTE I DID DO A MAKE bzImage
immediately after the "make dep".  The "mkinitrd" command was as
follows: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.19.img  2.4.19.  One question here is
am I using ext3 -> Yes, by the above statement I am guessing that is
part of my problem.
