No diskspace issues...

Removed, downloaded the rpm again, and reinstalled. had exactly the same 
problem, although interestingly the md5sum for the initrd has changed... ?

9d7e317bafafdf6d106d5ef10da2e27e  initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img

Can anyone confirm the correct value?? Any other suggestions? I can't 
seem to roll my own kernel and get it to boot either.

Cheers,
