So now I am running "/lib/udpcast/makeImage

Weird. I used the exact same command line as you used (except for the
path of makeImage and the kernel, and got a working initrd). I attached
it to this mail...
Am I missing a required module?
No, everything seems to be complete.
Am I doing this entirely wrong?
No, the command line looks correct. As said, I used the same, and got a
bootable image.
I am
building these on a machine thats running a 2.4 kernel, should that
matter?
The running kernel should not normally matter.
Sorry about all the questions, but so far my only
luck on booting this is
by using the Cast-o-matic images, which don't allow for pre and post
scripts.
This will be provided in one of the next versions.
Thanks for your continued assistance.

I reinstalled all the udpcast stuff via rpm. Are you using the 20051223-1
version to make the version you have?
I reran the command again, and I continue to get the kernel panic error.
I am running:
genromfs 0.5.1
syslinux 3.11
glibc 2.3.5
perl 5.8.7
I am able to load the image you sent, it doesn't seem to have the eepro100
module, as it isn't able to load it, but it can mount the filesystem and
boot.
Any other suggestions? I can send you a copy of the image I generated. I
really appreciate your help, this is very frustrating as this tool is
perfect for what we would like to impliment it as and I've been working at
it for days now.
Thanks again!
