I am talking about the gnu/linux OS distribution that already exists on your computer (debian, red hat, mandrake, suse, ubuntu whatever). How you install a new kernel, particularly how you make an initrd, is somewhat specific to that distribution, not to the kernel itself. In other words, mkinitrd failures are not xfs related. > Also, as I mentioned, I am especially interested in playing with the XFS > features and I am worrying whether this problem would stop me in doing > that.

If you can, it will. -Eric
