what distribution are you using? It might be a cpio archive or in cramfs
filesystem - start here http://wiki.openvz.org/Modifying_initrd_image
But once you've unzipped it, type "file init" to see what it is
If you want to read source, koan (http://cobbler.et.redhat.com/) has
some code to inject ks files into initrd's and covers both types already.

hi,
i need to create a new inird which include r1000 ethernet driver for oxe
boot. i read everywhere that i've to:
---------------------
mv initrd.imginitrd.img.gz
gunzip initrd.img.gz
mkdir init
mount -o loop initrd.img init
----------------------
but these last step always gives me:
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
and i can't find any kind of fs type which would be good.
although with
gunzip initrd.img | cpio -i --make-directories
seems to working, but even if i don't modify it and
find . -print | cpio -o -c |gzip -9 >initrd.img.new
the result is different form the original one.
so what is the proper procedure to recreate the initrd file?
thank you for your help in advance.
