That worked! I guess the installation of the RPM had an issue with raid1, jbd, and ext3 modules and including them in initrd. [root at admin root]# uname -a Linux admin.eleet-tech.com 2.4.21-20.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Dec 2 23:06:40 GMT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Thanks for the help! If all goes well over the next few days of testing this box will become production!

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. -Ryan _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at caosity.org http://lists.caosity.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
