I know we talked about this via IM this morning, but just so the  
archives have the info and no one thinks I'm ignoring you...

for some reason, a new version of kudzu (not sure when) stopped  
modifying /etc/modules.conf by adding new alias and module lines in  
there.  As a result, with a SCSI root disk, the appropriate module  
(in this case BusLogic) wasn't being added to the initrd file because  
mkinitrd didn't know about it (since kudzu neglected to write/update  
the file).

I need to look at this to figure it out.  In the meantime, this can  
be worked around once you've done the install and have chrooted to / 
mnt/annvix.  Delete the /boot/initrd-2.4.30-2avx.img file and then run:

mkinitrd --with=[scsi_mod] /boot/initrd-2.4.30-2avx.img 2.4.30-2avx

if you're using reiserfs or xfs for the root partition, you'll also  
have to add --with=reiserfs or --with=xfs (this is off the top of my  
head, but I believe that --with=[mod] is correct).

You should also update /etc/modules.conf appropriately as well at  
least before you upgrade the kernel (I think I have some info about  
modules.conf in the docs online).

Hope that clears that up, at least until I can give kudzu a good kick.
