Hi, anyone to point me URL on initrd.img creating? I have custom kernel and want to create initrd.img for install media. mkinitrd /tmp/initrd.img 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.hrb -v -f create unusable file for install media.

Personally, I just use the buildinstall process in /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime

However, if you look at that script and follow it through into mkimages (and mk-images.x86 or mk-images-.x86_64) it will tell you how buildinstall issues the commands.

Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Did you ever figure this command out? I'm stuck doing the same thing for FC4. I'm going crazy reading through mk-images scripts.
