Hmmm... you built it. I missed that. Here's a thought: when you built it, was it *running* on the cf card? If not, consider booting linux rescue, chroot to the mounted filesystem, and rebuild initrfs, to make sure that the driver for the cf card is in the init.....
I dont have the external DVD with me at the moment. Is there a way on the kVM image to say "include these modules" with the "make install" command
Perhaps an /etc/sysconfig/[some file here] that says include these modules in hte ram disk?
I think that might be it as the old 5.X has scsi modules loaded and the KVM 6.X image does not have that....
Thanks,
Jerry
