initrd /initrd-2.6.18-348.16.1.el5.028stab108.1.img
If all are correct reboot to new kernel
5. Time to convert FS. Boot node from live-CD or in Rescue system and perform the following steps
fsck.ext3 -f /dev/sda(x)
Turn on ext4 features
tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/sda(x)
Check new ext4 FS
fsck.ext4 -fD /dev/sda(x)
After that mount partition and edit /etc/fstab, then rebuild initrd image whith ext4 support.
NOTE! For 2.6.32 kernels no suitable modules ehci-hcd, ohci-hcd, uhci-hcd. You must specify it in rebuild!
mkinitrd -v -f --with=ext4 --builtin=ehci-hcd --builtin=ohci-hcd --builtin=uhci-hcd initrd-2.6.32-042stab81.5.img 2.6.32-042stab081.5
6. Reboot to running kernel and enjoy new kernel and FS.
