After a new linux installation, i'm unable to boot with previous

This is because previous installed initrd is overwritten with new
initrd.

How do I fix this in order to boot with previous linux installation.

Thanks in advance.

This is the way I fix it:
* boot from CD (knoppix)
* mount filesystem
* chroot
* mkinitrd (after correcting /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf)
Hope it helps.
