hi, I am unable to boot FC6T3 x86-64... on (AMD64X2, 4GB DDR2, SATA II, Asus M2N-E) The initrd image is missing in /boot directory. I have tried to fix the issue by creating initrd image as suggested by alan <alan clueserver org>: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been unsuccessful in installing t3 from dvd on a standard intel x86-64 chipset box. I think the problem is that I have one partition ( not root ) that's lvm. I asssume this will all be fixed for t4. Has anybody figured out how to install before then? Yep. I posted it earlier.
After you do the install, boot with the "rescue option" on the install dvd.
When you get a prompt:
chroot /mnt/sysmount cd /boot mkinitrd --image-version --nocompress initrd `uname -r`
Then add this line to the /etc/grub.conf entry: initrd /initrd-<kernelversion>
save, sync and reboot.

with following result:

Any ideas how to make FC6T3 boot?
