After looking at the syslinux.cfg file it appears you can do something like this: .... label rh72 kernel vmlinuz-rh72 append initrd=initrd-72.img ..... label rh73 kernel vmlinuz-rh73 append initrd=initrd-73.img ..... .... I bugged our kernel guy and asked about the initrd. He said that you should be able to specify multiple initrds as above. One way to remove extra modules is to rebuild the BOOT kernel rpm with only the modules you need and stick it in your build tree. Josh
