Ok, after that, I discovered that dracut hadn't yet been installed in
the aborted --auto-update mode.  Manually installed it and then ran the
command again.  This time I got a considerably larger initrd file....

However, still no love on rebooting into the 2.6.38.7 kernel.  It goes
so far and then panics again.  Last thing on my screen before it does a
trace and stop:

> uncompression error

My lilo.conf file points "root=3D" to exactly the same place for both ker=
nels.

Here's what I got when I ran mkinitrd after installing dracut:

I don't see anything that looks like a xfs module being listed there....

Any ideas?
