new kernel

[bruce woller]

Martin:

I believe you are correct in your assumption the the initrd pointer is 
awry.  When you make a new kernel the make modules_install step builds 
a modules directory that holds all the loadable (i.e. modprobe/insmod) 
modules associated with the freshly built kernel.  The initrd variable 
in your yaboot.conf file points the kernel to a file that describes 
these modules.  Anything in the .config that is tagged as a module is 
described here.  A .img file needs to be prepared and copied to your 
/boot directory.  try man mkinitrd for some tips on how to prepare the 
.img file from the modules directory.

Hope this helps,
Bruce
