I have flashed my BIOS with the fast boot rom bios so I can boot from my compact flash card.  I have recompiled my kernel and created my initrd image.  I used mkelfImage to create the boot image which contains both the kernel and initrd image.  When I boot everything seems to go fine except for some "kmod:  /sbin/modprobe" errors and finally a kernel panic error, "Unable to start initial console"  I built my kernel on a different computer and have been able to boot that machine with the kernel, but just not on the via m2.  I am using kernel version 2.4.18, since that is the version used in the documents that came with the fast boot rom.  For the command line parameter passed to mkelfImage I am using "toram rw root=/dev/hde1". Any ideas and where to go from here?

Thanks
Harry
