oh, i'm familiar with mkinitrd. i just wanted to clarify that mkinitrd is run at install time to build the initial initrd.img file based on your system, that's all. after all, i have no SCSI stuff on my host, so i wasn't surprised to find no SCSI modules in my initrd.img when i ripped it open to look at the included modules. rday -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
