Hello I was searching for where is the initrd*.img file which is written to /boot during installation of Fedora Core 5 and which is the initram image used in bootstrap. I had searceh the 5 *.iso CDs of FC5 : I found 3 files which could be regarded as candidates but it seems to me that they are not the ones. theses files are : in the first FC5 installation iso: /isolinux/initrd.img /images/xen/initrd.img and /images/pxeboot/initrd.img So it seems to me that none of these is the one which is being written to /boot during installation of FC5 . So my question is : does the installer of FC5 run mkinitrd during the installation ? And if this is so, this does mean that on different installation options we will have differnet initrd.img files under /boot ? Or more specifically, the question which very much interests me is: Suppose I will configure FC5 to work with LVM (during manual partition) and suppose on a second installation I will ***NOT*** work with LVM: will the initrd.img under /boot in both installations be the same ? or even more specifically: Will the mkinitrd in the second case (no LVM) will be activated witn the --omit-lvm-modules option ? Any ideas? Regards, John
