I have a batch of systems that need and updated e1000 driver before the network device can been seen by the default RHEL5 images provided. I was able to get the files I needed and now I'm trying to add the initrd but when trying to do this the system pulls down the new image but is unable to read it correctly After what I believe is attempt to load initrd I see a lot of gibberish on the screen like the file is corrupted I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong File myinitrd.img shows its SRV4 format no crc This seems pretty trivial yet its giving me a major headache if anyone could help out I would appreciate it. Here are the steps I used to add the new modules to initrd, the modules I added overwrite the previous ones. ahci.ko, e1000.ko # mkdir /tmp/newinitrd # cd /tmp/newinitrd # gzip -d < /home/rbrown/RHEL5_64/images/pxeboot/initrd.img | cpio -i --make-directories # cd /tmp/newinitrd/modules # gzip -d < modules.cgz | cpio -i --make-directories # cd 2.6.18-8.el5/x86_64 # cp /home/rbrown/dell/*.ko . # find 2.6.18-8.el5 | cpio -o -H crc | gzip -9 > modules.cgz # rm -rf 2.6.18-8.el5 # cd /tmp/newinitrd # find . | cpio -o -c | gzip -9 > /tmp/initrd.img --- Rodrick R.
