What I would suggest is that you install one system using a driver disk or similar so that you have a working system to use to help identify changes needed to your initrd. There is a lot of good documentation about modifying initrd's its just that some of it needs to be adjusted slightly for newer Red Hat based systems. Try http://sial.org/howto/linux/initrd/ http://wiki.openvz.org/Modifying_initrd_image http://forums12.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1212015469230+28353475&threadId=1158742 <http://forums12.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1212015469230+28353475&threadId=1158742> And remember just because the initrd used for PXE Booting is modified doesn't mean that the initd on the installed systems is modified as well. I hope this helps Good Luck :)
