Hi,

If you've gotten that far (didnt know mosix worked with 2.6...thought  
it only worked with 2.4), you'll simply need to do a search for  
compilation of the kernel -
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile

That should get you going with initrd. Initrd is very important, as it  
is the critical item after the bios, that will allow you to boot  
properly...cant just copy it.
