[SLL] Cent OS 5 Update - Fails to boot

[Eric]

I gave this a try and this is what I get when I run the mkinitrd command:

[root at localhost ~]# mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5.img 
vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5
No modules available for kernel "vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5".
[root at localhost ~]#

I don't do much kernel modifications generally so I want to make sure I 
am doing this right, especially for a server.

Thanks,
Eric
