Ha! Oh my..... Heeeehheeee....

>This machine has a raid card that uses the ips.o kernel module.  Will I

>for smp?? 

Yes! And then you have to reboot!

>If so can someone point me in the right direction?

mkinitrd! (MaKe INITial Ram Disk)  

It should turn out to be almost the same size as your current
initrd.img.  

>Ok, you can stop laughing now.

Not Yet! Ha! My sides hurt.
