initrd 'dev busy'?

Hello,
I noticed that the line above appears when I boot my mdk 10 server. And,
the HD light stays on unless I run MCC and choose 'hardware", then it goes
off....what gives?

Thanks,

Robert

Hi,

well, there is propbly something wrong with your initisl ramdisk. Create a
new one and run lilo. Maybe, just updateing lilo will be enough.
Other possibility, compile all your modules in the kernel, then you won't
need a ramdisk.

Um, I'm pretty good with this stuff, but not that good. I may try grub?
Or, reinstall......

Well, the init problem must not have been related, and went away....

I did a simple test and unplugged the HD while booted (I Know...) but the
light stayed lit, and of course the HD was off, so it must be some stupid
thing...

Thanks,
