hi all, I'm using Redhat 8.0.  I want to recompile the kernel, I'm
slowly getting the hang of it.  My question is though in my grub.conf
there is the following line: initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14.img.  What is
this?  When i do recompile the kernel i can boot from it fine but I get
a lot of errors, I think I may have to load this initrd file.  But what
is it?  All the tutorials on recompiling kernel never mention this, just
how to add the kernel to the grub.conf.  Anyone explain this to me?
