As root, I've tried this under /boot and under
/usr/sbin and I keep getting this output 

root at xanadu:/boot# mkinitrd /boot/initrd.2.6.3 2.6.3

$Id: mkinitrd,v 1.137 2003/10/04 01:36:50 herbert Exp
$

Usage: /usr/sbin/mkinitrd [OPTION]... <-o outfile>
[moduledir]

Options:
  -d confdir  Specify an alternative configuration
directory.
  -k          Keep temporary directory used to make
the image.
  -m command  Set the command to make an initrd image.
  -o outfile  Write to outfile.
  -r root     Override ROOT setting in mkinitrd.conf.

See mkinitrd(8) for further details.


BTW, under /boot I do have initrd

root at xanadu:/boot# ls -l | grep initr
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       147612 Feb  8
16:20 initrd.gz


Does this come into play?


thanks
