After upgrading to RH Kernel 2.2.5-22, I executed the mkbootdisk command with the options --device /dev/fd0 2.2.5- 22 and get the following output back: Script started on Sun Aug 1 19:12:07 1999 bash# /sbin/mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0 2.2.5-22 Insert a disk in /dev/fd0. Any information on the disk will be lost.

Thanks for any assistance.
Want to try the latest mkinitrd and mkbootdisk packages from RawHide? (ftp://ftp.redhat.com/rawhide/) See if they fix the problem. If not, change the top line of each script from #!/bin/bash or #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash -x and post the output here.
