You need to make a new initrd.img file.  Look in
your /boot/grub/grub.conf for a line that looks something like this:

initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.0.5.ELsmp.img

What you will want to do is run the commands:

mv /boot/initrd-2.6.9-5.0.5.ELsmp.img /boot/initrd-2.6.9-5.0.5.ELsmp.img.orig

mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-5.0.5.ELsmp.img 2.6.9-5.0.5.ELsmp

Note that I am running a different version of Linux from you so you
cannot just cut and paste what I typed - you need to create the correct
initrd.img file for the kernel you are booting.

Hope this helps,
Thomas
