(It also adds support for scsi and more uncommon hardware, that you probably don't need. Anyway, try it.) If it boots, create an initrd with mkinitrd and change grub's configuration. As an alternative, boot the installation kernel with the "rescue" option, mount the partitions and then create the initrd. Regards, Luciano Rocha -- Consciousness: that annoying time between naps.
