And having looked around a bit more, I discovered that the newer version
creates an image in /boot that is not called initrd :)

So I changed /boot/lilo.conf to reflect the new boot image and tried again.

This time the image decompresses OK and then I get:

****

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem)
VFS: Cannot open root device "3a01" or 3a:01
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 3a:01

I should also mention that I ran lvmcreate_initrd with the -D option, but
that didn't help.

Cheers,
