I am using RedHat 7.1. I am trying to add a module to the bootnet.img. When I get modules.cgz from the initrd.img, I get a directory called 2.4.2-2BOOT which contains a bunch of modules. This directory is just the kernel version, right? So does that mean the version of vmlinuz on the floppy is 2.4.2-2BOOT? I also have a modules.cgz that contains my new module. Do I grab my new module from the 2.4.2-2BOOT directory or the one in the 2.4.2-2 directory? What is the difference between the 2.4.2-2BOOT and the 2.4.2.-2 kernel? I'm so confused!!! Thanks! Rebecca
The 2.4.2-2BOOT kernel is the kernel that is used for the boot disks/CD. It is a stripped-down kernel that does not contain all of the modules that a regular Red Hat kernel does (as you may have already noticed). You can install the kernel-2.4.2-2BOOT from the installation disks to see what is inside.
