I kinda wondered if that was what you'd done.. The problem is the initrd.img 
doesn't contain all the modules needed run SATA or SCSI drives..

`mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16.20-rtai 2.6.16.20-rtai` should do it. The 
problem is how to run the command when the system won't boot.. If you can 
boot from either the BDI-4 CD or another partition, then try mounting the 
BDI-4 partition. With the partition mounted, try chrooting in to the mount 
point and running mkinitrd."
