NoOp,

I ran the command as you suggested, update-initramfs -k 
2.6.22-a4-generic -u, and checked the time and date of 
/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic and it looks like the command took. I 
rebooted and still go the BusyBox prompt and my hard drive are not 
present. My USB mass storage device is OK and my ZipDrive is visible, 
just no hard drives ( have 2, linux is on /dev/hdb). Anything else you 
can suggest?

Thanks,
Rick
