<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi Doug,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I tried running both <b>mkinitrd -f
/boot/initrd-2.6.13.3.img 2.6.13.3 </b>and <b>mkinitrd -f --omit-scsi-modules

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm not sure why I had to run either
of these when I had previously run make install to install the kernel and
it already built a initrd file, but I did it anyway to experiment.</font>
