Hi,
i want to add some modules and scripts to my initrd.
At first I have decompressed the initrd with bzip2.
Then I want to mount ("mount -o loop ./initrd /mnt/initrd"),
but I get the Message that the Filesystem is missing and ext2 and ext3 don't
work?
What I have done wrong ???
thx

Nowadays, the initrd image is a compressed cpio archive (unpack with
bzip2 -dc initrd | cpio -i . Careful: this command unpacks into current
directory)
Later, you can recompress the modified image with:
find . -print | cpio -c -o | bzip2 -c >../initrd
(Again, this command should be run from within the initrd's root directory)
Or just use the --merge option with the makeImage utility to add any
additional files that you may need.

Alain
