I've done the following:

root at xanadu:/boot# mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.2.6.3.gz
/usr/src/linux.2.6.3#
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: /usr/src/linux.2.6.3#: Not a
directory
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: MODULES needs to be set to none?


root at xanadu:/boot# lilo -t -v

Reading boot sector from /dev/hda
Using MENU secondary loader
Calling map_insert_data

Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-xfs

Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.3
Mapping RAM disk /boot/initrd.2.6.3.gz
Fatal: Empty map section


Uh oh, Fatal: Empty map section, this doesn't look
good.  Searching the web didn't turn up anything to
solve this...other than having map=/boot/map in
lilo.conf...It is there.

I re-ran lilo

root at xanadu:/sbin# ./lilo
Added Linux *
Fatal: Empty map section

Any ideas on how to fix this?
