				| 
 |  
				| I have a sms with kernet 3.2..14 and I tried replace the kernel 3.2.14-l7. All during the installation of was successful (script install.sh and lilo) but when I run system I get the message:
 RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
 ...and kernel panic
 Do I need to generate a ramdisk?
 Is there somewhere in the kernel with layer7 and IMQ?

				| If you had an initrd.gz in your /etc/lilo.conf, after installing 3.2.14-l7 run mkinitrd 
  	  | Code: |  	  | mkinitrd -k 3.2.14-l7 -m your filesystem -f filesystem -r your/root/partition | 
 and run "lilo" again.
 
 Unless you are having reiserfs of btrfs you shouldn't have any problem running a generic kernel without an initrd.gz, as generic kernels have built in ext3 ext4 support.

				| You can proceed with a generic kernel and a initrd.gz or a hugel7 kernel without an initrd.gz. Next kernel upgrade will have layer7+IMQ, same for iptables.
