When I try to create a new initrd, mkinitrd fails with the error: /sbin/mkinitrd: line 975: initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.TEST.img Permission denied I've tried using different file names with the same result. I've also tried when logged in as root from the initial login (boot level 3) as well as via su from both the cli and xterm. Same thing. I've also tried building the initrd in the /boot and /root directories. I believe that this is the version of mkinitrd that was included with the installation. I have updated everything via yum update, but I can't run the 2.6.16-2080 kernel yet (problem with dmraid). I have the source packages for 2.6.15-2054 and 2.6.16-2080 installed. I have successfully created initrd's before with this system, but I can't remember if it was before or after yum update. (I think it was after because it was an attempt to fix the dmraid problem with 2.6.16-2080.) Can anyone suggest a fix or something to look at? I've looked at mkinitrd and didn't see anything alarming about line 975. I appreciate any advice. Thanks, Jack Holden </body> </html>
