Hi,
I would like to do a network install using PIXES boot, however the ethernet
device was not supported by centos installation (RTL8110SC). How do i add
this module into the initrd?
I know i can use: mkinitrd --with=r8169 `uname -r`, but i did not know what
is the standard modules included in the installation initrd of Centos.
The initrd file is just a gzipped ext2 filesystem image, so you need to
uncompress it into a temporary file and then mount that file using loopback:
zcat /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img >/tmp/fs
mkdir /mnt/initrd
mount -r -t ext2 -o loop /tmp/fs /mnt/initrd
Then you can look under /mnt/initrd to see the contents of the initial ramdisk.
Its not an image anymore :
fs: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC)
However it can be extarct using cpio:
gunzip < /boot/initrd-version.img |cpio -i --make-directories
Thanks for the hint.
