Good idea.
No errors - here's what I get (and I moved to the newest kernel on
this figuring, hey, what the heck?)
[root@franklin /boot]# mkinitrd -v /boot/initrd-2.2.17-14.img 2.2.17-14
Using modules:
Using loopback device /dev/loop0
/bin/ash.static -> /tmp/initrd.3991/bin/sh
/sbin/insmod.static -> /tmp/initrd.3991/bin/insmod

Another good idea.
Here's what I get:
[root@franklin /boot]# lilo -v

Actually, I can.
When I try to boot the new kernel everything fleebs and comes to
the Ctrl-D halt. I enter the root password and try this:
insmod -fm /lib/modules/2.2.17-4/scsi/aic7xxx.o
And then I can mount the SCSI drives all I want.
Any clues?
