We just installed Redhat AS 3.0 UP4 on DELL server.  I
tested "mkbootdisk" create bootable image to diskette,
but this diskette can not boot successful.  My
procedures are:

# uname -r
2.4.21-27.ELsmp
# ls -al /lib/modules
total 20
drwxr-xr-x    5 root     root         4096 Feb  1
09:15 .
drwxr-xr-x   11 root     root         4096 Jan 27
16:54 ..
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         4096 Jan 27

# mkbootdisk 2.4.21-27.ELBOOT

If I create bootable ISO image then it work fine.
