For odd reasons, I am attempting to add a driver to an initrd.img.

Using the exact same kernel as on the original media, I have built a driver module.


Hey Phil,

*Everytime* I've tried taking a shortcut and hacked the initrd.img I've hit some other issue that makes it not work. :/

Can I make a suggestion? Your best bet is to modify the kernel source rpm with your changes, rebuild the kernel, and then rebuild the distro using jkeating's pungi.

This is not a good way of doing.
better use *mkinitrd* it works for me. even hacking initrd works for me.

Yes, this takes longer than trying to hack the initrd.img, but in the long run you'll realize the "rebuild-kernel-rebuild-os" is much easier to do. :)
