Yes actually all three initrd are in /boot. I have initrd.img,
initrd-2.4.22-10mdk.img and initrd-2.4.22-21mdk.img all in boot. It's
strange though because they look like packages that need to be installed
but without the rpm on the end. The initrd.img is a link file the other
two are not. Also while looking at the / dir there is one file in with
all the directories, initrd-2.4.22-21mdk.img, and it looks like a
package instead of a file also. I have a initrd dir under / but its
empty.
