Perhaps you forgot to build that module when you configured your 2.4.21 kernel? The mkinitrd script looks at several places like fstab and modules.conf to try and figure out what modules you need. Also note that there is a nice script called /sbin/new-kernel-pkg that will automatically make the initrd and create GRUB or LILO entries for you. I haven't tried this with vanilla kernels, but I think it should work. This script is called as part of the 'make install' process if you use a Red Hat patched kernel-source package. --Jeremy -- /=====================================================================\ | Jeremy Portzer jeremyp pobox com trilug.org/~jeremy | | GPG Fingerprint: 712D 77C7 AB2D 2130 989F E135 6F9F F7BC CC1A 7B92 | \=====================================================================/
