In my case this procedure was successful. Hi, I had the same problem. When I first booted the 2.6.19-1.2877.fc7 kernel I got a kernel panic it couldn't start init. I booted back to the previous kernel and my initrd was only 336k, I updated it and now it's 3.6M. I checked my logs to see how yum updated my kernel and mkinitrd: Dec 12 17:01:00 localhost Updated: mkinitrd.i386 6.0.3-1 Dec 16 11:45:43 localhost Updated: mkinitrd.i386 6.0.5-1 Dec 16 11:48:03 localhost Installed: kernel.i686 2.6.19-1.2877.fc7 So I had the new mkinitrd before my kernel was updated. If necessary I can upload the initrd created at the updated and the one I created. What will happen the next time grub needs to be installed? Will the grup device map be updated to the new device naming? gr, Bart -- Bart Vanbrabant <bart vanbrabant zoeloelip be> PGP fingerprint: 093C BB84 17F6 3AA6 6D5E FC4F 84E1 FED1 E426 64D1
