I think I have booting issues for my custom kernel on centos 4. the sda system cannot find the disk.
I used a qemu image to build a centos 4 MATH_EMULATION kernel. This system has /dev/hda.
The system I am putting the vmlinuz and initrd files on is a /dev/sda system. I dont think the initrd image is getting built correctly.
Does this make sense? What might I look at changing to ensure my initrd is made correctly.

Try copying /etc/modprobe.conf from the production machine to the machine where you built your kernel and then run mkinitrd again.
You might also try to play with the --preload= parameter of mkinitrd.
See "man 8 mkinitrd" for more details.
