hi,
here is the output

I checked the timestamp and it is correct.  I also doublechecked the kernel
version with the uname-r command and that is the version I am using.

The command looks correct. So, we have to ask what went wrong.

So, instead of "some kind of reference," it might be good to know exactly
what reference. Use Speakup's clipboard to grab that output and paste it
into an email message, please.

Also, double-check the time stamp on /boot/initrd-2.4.20-24.9spk2.img

Are you actually booting 2.4.20-24.9spk? Use uname -r to find out. Check
your grub.conf and your lilo.conf as appropriate.
