Josh,
Sounds like a strange problem indeed. Off the top of my head, try
running mkinitrd manually for the new kernel (in verbose mode), to make
sure that it is preloading all of the modules necessary to boot your /
filesystem. Specifically make sure it is loading the raid1 module, and
the ext3 module (assuming / is formatted ext3). Also, if your drives
are other than regular IDE (scsi or sata), make sure the appropriate
scsi or sata modules are getting loaded. To run mkinitrd in verbose
mode, just pass it the -v flag. So in this case your command would look
like this:
mkinitrd -f -v /boot/initrd-2.4.21-20.0.1.ELsmp.img 2.4.21-20.0.1.ELsmp
Try that first to make sure the modules are getting loaded.
