Subject: New Kernel Help
Please send your error to the list as well and thanks for grub.conf. I
just went through this sort of problem not two hours ago and it's like
because you need an initrd file. I can't help you here (i have mdk8.2's
and rh7.3's and suse8.0's in a half hour) but i'm sure you can search
for initrd-2.4.19 on www.google.com/linux and find something. I had the
error from mandrake's grub config because mandrake didn't want to
acknowledge have red hat on the same machine. I wonder what suse will
do.

In the doc it says to copy over the bzImage as vmlinux-2.4.19, so I did.When I added the new entry into grub.conf I noticed that I didn't have a vmlinuz-<version> and initrd-<version> in /boot. These must be necessary as I can't boot to 2.4.19.
