Read-only filesystem after moving to new server

[Leen Smit]

Hi All,

A small update and another question... Since I couldn't figure out why 
this was not working, I started from scratch.
I've found that a "clean" roll-put with lenny wont work, im getting 
kernel panics errors again. But is probably due to missing modules for 
our bnx2 networkcards.

Putting the old config files bak and using our own "old" kernel to get 
around this still wont work, the boot proccess keeps asking for a proper 
"init=", which is strange since we never used an init image in the "old" 
setup.  Does newer versions of expect a init image?

The problem is that I can never get out off the initrd on to the actual 
fai installation this way..

Im really lost at this point, since I cant seem to get the old setup 
working, nor a new one!
Any help would be greatly appreciated... If more info is needed all be 
glad to post that here!
