You have to uncompress it before you can mount it. Remember we went
through this steps.
1. copy it from /boot to /tmp and add the .gz extension.
2. gunzip the file.
3. After that you should see something similar to:
[egreshko@gangster tmp]$ file initrd-2.4.21-40.ELsmp.img
initrd-2.4.21-40.ELsmp.img: Linux rev 1.0 ext2 filesystem data
4. Then you can mount it...
[root@gangster tmp]# mount -o loop initrd-2.4.21-40.ELsmp.img /mnt
[root@gangster tmp]# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc6 77940192 27503864 46477112 38% /
/dev/hdc1 202220 67293 124487 36% /boot
none 367400 0 367400 0% /dev/shm
/tmp/initrd-2.4.21-40.ELsmp.img
7745 348 6997 5% /mnt
5. Then you can go to /mnt and see the file system....
[root@gangster tmp]# cd /mnt
[root@gangster mnt]# ls
bin dev etc lib linuxrc loopfs proc sbin sysroot
6. You should mount the non-custom initrd at some other mount point.
Maybe make a directory called /mnt1 and mount it there...and then
compare what is in the non-custom file system with your custom one. I'm
guessing that the difference will be in the lib directory.
