Sorry - was looking at an initrd from an installed kernel - that "init"
is a shell script. Looks like the installer initrd.img is a different
beast :-) than those for the installed kernels or created by mkinitrd.
For the CentOS 5 installer initrd.img:
[root@wx1 TMP]# gunzip < /raid/RH/CentOS/5/os/i386/isolinux/initrd.img |cpio -i --make-directories
12907 blocks
[root@wx1 TMP]# ll

For CentOS5 the r8169.ko module is in modules.cgz and the following
entries are found in the text files:
[root@wx1 modules]# grep r8169 module-info modules.alias modules.dep
module-info:r8169
modules.alias:alias pci:v00001737d00001032sv*sd00000024bc*sc*i* r8169
modules.alias:alias pci:v000016ECd00000116sv*sd*bc*sc*i* r8169
modules.alias:alias pci:v00001186d00004300sv*sd*bc*sc*i* r8169
modules.alias:alias pci:v000010ECd00008129sv*sd*bc*sc*i* r8169
modules.alias:alias pci:v000010ECd00008169sv*sd*bc*sc*i* r8169
Backing up to square 1 - What CentOS version are you trying to install?
