Hi all, I have a few questions regarding building a new initrd which adds additional modules to the existing initrd. The environment that I am working in is as follows: 1. that anaconda has completed the install and I prevent the system from rebooting. 2. Anaconda has installed the OS to an iscsi disk. What I'd like to do now is to add the dracut-network and iscsi modules to the initrd so that when the system reboots it will be able to connect to the remote iscsi target and mount the root device. I have been working through this for about three weeks now and am stuck at the phase where I can rebuild the initrd with the network modules and iscsi modules. The installed system contains all the dependency rpms such as: dracut, dracut-kernel, dracut-network, and iscsi-initiator-utils. While in the anaconda shell I tried the following command: dracut -v -a iscsi -m network new_initrd.img `uname -r` Executing this command has two problems: 1. The network option is invalid. I'm wondering if this should be -m dracut-network?? 2. This does not add modules to the existing image. But it creates a very minimal initrd. What I would like is to add the network boot modules to boot from an iscsi root device to the existing initrd. I would appreciate any help in this matter. Please let me know if I can furnish any further information. Thanks in advance. - Vinay -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe initramfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
