Hi Cedric,
I've tried modifying /mnt/cdrom/images/pxeboot/initrd.img, which is placed 
under /tftpboot on our dhcp/tftp server and served when a node pxe boots, 
but I've not had much success modifying this file.  I need to replace init 
with a custom init, add a couple of binaries (sfdisk, cat, and other 
goodies), along with necessary libraries.  And I only seem to be able to 
add about 100-200K of stuff before the changes to the size of the ramdisk 
cause kickstart/anaconda to start failing in strange ways.  If I make the 
image file larger, it fails in one way; if I add >200K to the original 
image file, it fails in a different way.

Are you aware of a size limitation to the the ramdisk image?  In the file 
that is served via during the dhcp/tftp transaction initially, I specify 
"ramdisk_size=16384" (which is much larger than the initrd.img); but 
changing this didn't seem to help.

Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Paul
