Hi Tom, Ok, I see. The doc isn't clear about how to extract the contents from the original initrd:
mv initrd.lrp initrd.gz gunzip initrd.gz mount -t minix initrd /mnt -o loop After that you have the contents from the package in the /mnt directory You can take a shortcut (instead of creating a fresh initrd as written in the doc) by copy the ext2 module to /mnt/boot/etc/modules/ and edit the /mnt/boot/etc/modules file to load the ext2 module, after that umount /mnt, type sync and gzip -9 the initrd again.
