Hi all, Honestly, I still can't figure out how initrd is created by genkernel. I got a 3ware with 4 45 Gig disks connected (RAID 10). My entire system is on this RAID.
Tried to build a kernel (2.4.22) with genkernel (1.7), 3ware as module. During boot, initrd seems to load (detecting storage, detecting usb or something like that) but the 3ware modules are not loaded, kernel panics because it doesn't find /root. Solved the problem by re-compiling the kernel (genkernel --config) with 3ware built-in, no problems. But I would like to know how genkernel/initrd works. I remember from the old RedHat days that their mkinitrd script looks in /etc/modules.config and creates initrd with the modules found there. How exactly does this work in Gentoo? Is there a file to edit? Should something be done in modules.autoload? Should I edit /etc/kernels/? Ore is this just not working yet ...
