I need up update the network install for FC4 so that it supports new hardware (nVidia ethernet - forcedeth). The 2.6.17 kernel is fine in this case. But the initrd.gz that is installed in /boot is nothing like the images/pxeboot/initrd.img from the installation CD. I need to know how the images/pxeboot/initrd.img was made so that I can make a new one for the 2.6.17 kernel. Can anyone point in the right direction?
Don't know about the pxeboot initrd, but to roll your own initrd, first make sure you have a kernel/initrd combination that allows you to boot into the machine in case the following causes problems.
Then save the existing initrd, and mkinitrd -f --preload=module1 --preload=module2 --preload=moduleN \ initrd-<kernelversion>.img <kernelversion> where <kernelversion> = `uname -r` -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
