I found it interesting to see the contents of the initrd file.I hope you all also must be
interested in trying it out onto your system. to save your time. i have given the steps. Hope
that benefits you all and add to your increased understanding of Linux system :)
How do I know the contents of the initrd image ?
SYSTEM:
# uname -a
Linux galileo 2.6.18-5-amd64 #1 SMP Thu May 31 23:51:05 UTC 2007 x86_64 Debian GNU/Linux
STEPS:
(1) cp /boot/initrd.img-
2.6.18-5-amd64 initrd.img.gz
(2) unzip -v initrd.img.gz
(3) cpio -i < initrd.img
This will give contents of the files.
Thanks & regards,
