I have a batch of systems that need and updated e1000 driver
before the network device can been seen by the default RHEL5 images provided. I was able to get the files I needed and now I’m
trying to add the initrd but when trying to do this the system pulls down the
new image but is unable to read it correctly I get the following errors: Attempt to access beyond the end of device No file system could mount root, unable to mount rootfs on
unknown block(0,1) This seems pretty trivial yet its giving me a major headache
if anyone could help out I would appreciate it. Here are the steps I used to add the new modules to initrd,
the modules I added overwrite the previous ones. ahci.ko, e1000.ko # mkdir /tmp/newinitrd # cd /tmp/newinitrd # gzip -d <
/home/rbrown/RHEL5_64/images/pxeboot/initrd.img | cpio -i --make-directories # cd /tmp/newinitrd/modules # gzip -d < modules.cgz | cpio -i --make-directories # cd 2.6.18-8.el5/x86_64 # cp /home/rbrown/dell/*.ko . # find 2.6.18-8.el5 | cpio -o -H crc | gzip -9 >
modules.cgz # rm –rf 2.6.18-8.el5 # cd /tmp/newinitrd # find . | cpio -o -H crc | gzip -9 > /tmp/initrd.img --- Rodrick R. Brown rbrown<@>ballista<.>com 120 Wall St. Suite 2400 C: 347 702 0012 | O: 646 307 4709 http://www.ballistasec.com |
