JS-20 and generic kernel 2.6.13.3

[Steve Millman]

Hi Doug,
I tried running both mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-2.6.13.3.img 2.6.13.3 and   
mkinitrd -f --omit-scsi-modules /boot/initrd-2.6.13.3.img 2.6.13.3 .
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.

Thanks,
Steve Millman

You did run mkinitrd after installing the kernel, correct?
