Problems booting 2.4.17
A message that is not in the archive (sent off-list or not yet received): [email protected]
For now I've moved back to 2.4.16, which boots without a problem. I had lots of work to do to get those systems up and configured so I haven't had time to play.
I'm not sure what is causing the problem. I know how to make an initrd image and it's there. It may be a problem with devfs because I remember that Mandrake based their devfs scripts on some very very very old stuff from the devfs ditribution (which is being removed IIRC).
It's probably not fs based as you are using reiserfs and I'm using ext3.
Anyway ... For now I've gone back to 2.4.16, but I'd like to try 2.4.17. So if you happen to have some time and figure it out, please let me know.

Good Morning,
I had the same problem, with resierfs. Any workaround found?
Have a happy new year!!
Regards,
ChrisHello all.
I'm having problems booting 2.4.17 on a Mandrake 8.1 system (with all current updates).
When I boot 2.4.17 (with an initrd image) I get the following...
kernel boots ...
Creating root device
mkrootdev: mknod failed: 17
Mounting root filesyste with flags data=ordered
Mount: error 16 mounting ext3 flags data=ordered ...Tried to remount without flags and fails with the same error... Kernel Panic: No initrd found ...I am using ext3 / /boot /usr /var & /home filesystems
2.4.8-34.1mdk boots fine however.
I'm about to go try 2.4.16 (it was working with reiserfs partitions before).
The machine is an AMD Athalon 1.3 Ghz on an EPOC board with a 3ware 7800 series RAID card, with three 75/80 GB drives in a RAID 5 array.
Anyone else run into something like this?
I'll report back about 2.4.16 and if anyone would like more info, just shout.
