Hi DongInn,
The UYOK img I created to include the tg3 is 95MB
compared to initial UYOK of 45MB
or the initial one 21MB.
The format is gzip (cpio --format='newc' & gzip -9) .
I don't know why it is so big difference between the initial UYOK and the one I
created
as I only modified one txt file (INSMOD_COMMANDS).
I'll check again the options I used.
Kind Regards,
Costel

Hi Costel,
How big is your initrd image?
If it is too big, kernel can not load up the image. The initrd image should be
just good enough to load up rsync to get the image from the head node.
It seems that you are handling the initrd image in the same way as I have done.
I would like to make sure that your initrd image from your UYOK is a cpio file
format. If not, you have to make it in that format and then manage it the way
you do it.
Regards,

Hi,
DongInn, Olivier, could you please share with me your way to modify the
initrd.img file?
I modified the old initrd.img file with
gunzip < initrd.img | cpio -i --make-directories
vi ./my_modules/INSMOD_COMMANDS
to add line
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/tg3.ko
NOTE: the file exists into the cpio created file hierarchy
find . | cpio --create --format='newc' > /tmp/newinitrd
gzip -9 /tmp/newinitrd
cp /tmp/newinitrd.gz /tftpboot/install-initrd-rhel-6-x86_64.img
Now, after loading the kernel file it states that it does not find the ramdisk
image.
When switching back to the old initrd.img it works.
I checked my new image with lsinitrd and it looks ok.
File permissions looks ok.
I am now checking to see if the size does matter for tftp transfer (the UYOK
img file is a little bit bigger).
I modified the APPEND line in pxe default file making the ramdisk_size bigger
but in my opinion it stops before
that step.
If you have any idea please do not hesitate..
Best Regards,
Costel
