I changed the newer versions to use uncompressed images. But your report really indicates that you have a version with compressed images. In this case, the modified instructions from David apply. You can check the file format of the initrd by running 'file initrd.img' on your Linux box (Thanks to Marc for that hint !). > > > > mount -t ext2 -o loop initrd.img initrd > > # you can now do what you have to do in the initrd subdirectory. > > > > > > copy the OCO modules in the lib directory of the initrd: > > > > > > cp lcs*o qdio.o qeth.o initrd/lib # Make sure that you copy the > > > # 2.4.5 OCO modules ! > > > > > > umount the loppback initrd: > > > > > > umount initrd > > # re-gzip image > gzip initrd.img > mv initrd.img.gz initrd.img > # you now have your shiny new initrd.img ;-) > > I am guessing that your problem is because the initrd.img is compressed > w/ gzip.
