Well I messed around with the GRUB shell and I have found that the 'boot'
command appears to be the culprit. That command boots the OS so is that
indicating that my kernel is hosed?
Also, I have found out that initrd is no longer supported and that
initramfs is taking its place. I have tried adding adding 'reiserfs' and
running to conf/modules 'update-initramfs', but still no joy.
Arrrrgh!
