Eventually, I want to modify the initrd. But first I want to find a working procedure to create the revised version. So, without changing anything, I'm trying to recreate the initrd. If I can't get an unmodified version to work, I probably have no hope for a modified one. My current command sequence is, # mkdir newrd; cd newrd # unxz <../initrd.img | cpio -im # unxz <../initrd.img | cpio -it | cpio -oc | xz >../initrd2.img The result is slightly smaller than the original. lsinitrd shows both images to have exactly the same content in the same sequence but with different timestamps on directories and links. Without changing the PXE instructions, either the kernel or the append lines, I move the new file on top of the original and try to PXE boot. That's when it fails. It does appear to find the root as several screens worth of messages fly by. The last few I see make reference to sda and sdb (the target has two disks). But I can't read fast enough to see the last messages before the kernel panic (which fills the screen). -- Dave Close -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
