Can't create mkinitrd

[deltatux]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to compile my own kernel. However, I hit a snag when I try to make an initrd image.

sudo -s mkinitrd

Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25.18-0.2-default
Initrd image: /boot/initrd-2.6.25.18-0.2-default
Root device: /dev/sda2 (mounted on / as xfs)
Resume device: /dev/sda3
Kernel Modules: processor thermal dock scsi_mod libata pata_atiixp ahci fan xfs edd sd_mod usbcore ohci-hcd uhci-hcd ehci-hcd ff-memless hid usbhid
Features: block usb resume.userspace resume.kernel
Bootsplash: openSUSE (1280x1024)
24549 blocks

Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.4-default
Initrd image: /boot/initrd-2.6.27.4-default
Could not find the filesystem module for root device /dev/sda2 (xfs)

Here's the expanded format:

mkinitrd -f -k -v

The initrd works for OpenSUSE's kernel, but my custom kernel doesn't work. It's just 2.6.27.4 with some tweaks. Also, it does have xfs compiled into the kernel as a module.

Please help,

ok, now it's complaining that it can't be booted into sda2 or unknown boot (0,0) or something like that, help?
