Hi, I’ve tried run mkinitrd to create an
initrd.img file for Centos 5 Kickstart, but it turns out that the default
initrd.img is quite different from the initrd.img file created with mkinitrd. Any
one know how to create a Kickstart initrd.img with custom kernel? Or the
hacking steps on a existing Centos 5 kickstart initrd.img? root@Centos5TestBox aaa]# ls -alF original

kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Hi, Any
one know how the Centos 5 kickstart initrd.img
was
built? I’ll be very appreciated if any light can be shed on this topic.
The
basic problem to be solved here is: how to build a custom
vmlinuz+initrd.img for Centos 5 kickstart with my own custom built kernel? I
am not sure mkinitrd is the right tool for this purpose? If do, which are the
modules I should include with ‘—preload’
options? And if there are any extra files/steps
I
should include/follow for the initrd.img file? Not sure how the
stage2.img is loaded by kernel after initrd.img is loaded
and run. Please help. --Guolin |
