Sorry - was looking at an initrd from an installed kernel - that "init" is a shell script. Looks like the installer initrd.img is a different beast :-) than those for the installed kernels or created by mkinitrd. For the CentOS 5 installer initrd.img: [root at wx1 TMP]# gunzip < /raid/RH/CentOS/5/os/i386/isolinux/initrd.img |cpio -i --make-directories 12907 blocks [root at wx1 TMP]# ll total 36 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Aug 16 09:23 bin -> sbin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 16 09:23 dev drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 16 09:23 etc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Aug 16 09:23 init -> /sbin/init drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 16 09:23 modules drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 16 09:23 proc drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 16 09:23 sbin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 16 09:23 selinux drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 16 09:23 sys drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 16 09:23 tmp drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Aug 16 09:23 var [root at wx1 TMP]# find . -type f -exec file {} \; ./.buildstamp: ASCII text ./.profile: ASCII text ./etc/loader.tr: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Tue Apr 10 15:26:52 2007, max compression ./etc/arch: ASCII text ./etc/terminfo/l/linux: Compiled terminfo entry ./etc/terminfo/v/vt100: Compiled terminfo entry ./etc/terminfo/v/vt100-nav: Compiled terminfo entry ./etc/lang-table: ASCII text ./etc/passwd: ASCII text ./etc/keymaps.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Mon Feb 27 16:54:51 2006, max compression ./etc/screenfont.gz: gzip compressed data, was "screenfont-i386", from Unix, last modified: Fri Dec 13 09:51:44 2002, max compression ./sbin/loader: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, statically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped ./sbin/init: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, statically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped ./modules/module-info: ASCII text ./modules/modules.cgz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Tue Apr 10 15:51:11 2007, max compression ./modules/modules.dep: ASCII text ./modules/modules.alias: ASCII text ./modules/pci.ids: ASCII text > Any other hints please? i've > been googling around and no clue so far :( > > Looks like nobody willing to customize the boot image, and prefer to wait the > new release and hoping it will be supported... For CentOS5 the r8169.ko module is in modules.cgz and the following entries are found in the text files: [root at wx1 modules]# grep r8169 module-info modules.alias modules.dep module-info:r8169 modules.alias:alias pci:v00001737d00001032sv*sd00000024bc*sc*i* r8169 modules.alias:alias pci:v000016ECd00000116sv*sd*bc*sc*i* r8169 modules.alias:alias pci:v00001186d00004300sv*sd*bc*sc*i* r8169 modules.alias:alias pci:v000010ECd00008129sv*sd*bc*sc*i* r8169 modules.alias:alias pci:v000010ECd00008169sv*sd*bc*sc*i* r8169 Backing up to square 1 - What CentOS version are you trying to install?
