I cannot get mkinitrd to work. It only responds with the --help list, seeming to say that my syntax is wrong. I am attempting to include usb-storage I am running as root from /root [r...@bootp ~]# mkinitrd preload=ehci-hcd preload=usb-storage preload=scsi_mod preload=sd_mod /boot/initrd_usb.img 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 usage: mkinitrd [--version] [--help] [-v] [-f] [--preload <module>] [--force-ide-probe] [--force-scsi-probe | --omit-scsi-modules] [--image-version] [--force-scsi-probe | --omit-raid-modules] [--with=<module>] [--force-lvm-probe | --omit-lvm-modules] [--builtin=<module>] [--omit-dmraid] [--fstab=<fstab>] [--nocompress] <initrd-image> <kernel-version> (ex: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.5-15.img 2.2.5-15) [r...@bootp ~]# and no new .img in /boot: [r...@bootp ~]# ls -l /boot/*img* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1058886 Aug 17 2006 /boot/initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1081430 Aug 21 2006 /boot/initrd-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7006019 Dec 21 2006 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-386 my experience running mkinitrd is meager, but this just looks broken. maybe fc5 is just too old? I saw lots of mkinitrd bugs "wont fix" by googling. but this lack of any response except the help pkg tells me I am doing something basically wrong. I get same result using \ to breakup the command into two lines thanks for any help Jack
