Subject: Re: [suse-sparc] mk_initrd freezes

    I have the Kernel 2.4.2 (4), but no 2.2. Should I use linuxrc from the
    installation CD, booting the system already installed and then run
    mk_initrd ?? (if yes -- I did that a long time ago to correct a defect
    silo.conf but I forgot HOW to get the menu to start linuxrc. sorry.).
