Hi,
I try to mount the file /boot/initrd-2.6.9-42.ELsmp but I have a error
[root@localhost ~]# cp /boot/initrd-2.6.9-42.ELsmp.img /root/ [root@localhost ~]# mv initrd-2.6.9-42.ELsmp.img initrd-2.6.9-42.ELsmp.gz [root@localhost ~]# gunzip initrd-2.6.9-42.ELsmp.gz
[root@localhost ~]# mount initrd-2.6.9-42.ELsmp /tmp -o loop [root@localhost ~]# mount: you must specify the filesystem type
why ?

Because your kernel is missing cpiofs support.
[root@shutdown tmp]# file initrd initrd: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC) [root@shutdown tmp]# cat initrd | cpio -i --make-directories 4844 blocks [root@shutdown tmp]#

Thanks you

What is the command for the reconstruction of initrd ?

Have a root around in the mkinitrd shell script in /sbin.
(cd $MNTIMAGE; find . | cpio --quiet -c -o) > $IMAGE

As of FC3 initrds are cpio archives.
