Re: Copying an rhel as 3 installation from a PowerEdge 2650 to a 2950

All,

  Thanks for all of your responses!  It turned out to be a simple thing,
although not so much to me.  I recreated the initrd and was able to boot
successfully.  I retried restoring the dumps from the other existing system,
installed the driver and recreated the initrd and it worked.

  Thanks again!
