Hi all, please pardon the cross-post of the re-post. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience and can offer any pointers on modifying initrd.img. We've been using a modified initrd.img with a modified init in versions up to 7.3 with no problem. But when trying to follow the same process with RH9 I get mixed results, none of them what I want :-(. Any help would be appreciated!

We use Red Hat on a cluster, and I'm currently trying to modify how we've done things with 7.3 to work with 9; but I'm stuck and am not sure how best to proceed. We use a modified init and have been able to just unzip the ramdisk, mount it, fill it up with libs and other goodies, change the size of the ramdisk, etc in the past. I've hit a point though where if I make more than just minimal changes to the footprint of the zipped .img (adding more than just a couple of /libs or executables), the anaconda will fail saying that the install tree is invalid. Or in another case ignore the ks.cfg I feed it; it won't mount the directory from which it's served. I initially tried just making a bigger image (~1.5M larger than default, compressed), populating it with the libs and executables I wanted, and serving that much larger .img. Then I tried telling it to use the same .img, but allow for a larger ramdisk on the options fed to the booting from the dhcp/tftp server. This yielded the invalid install tree msg. Then I tried pairing down what I needed to fit into the original image. This caused it to ignore the ks.cfg (ignoring the mount to the location of the ks.cfg). Can anyone offer any suggestions?
