DongInn,

Just to let you know I succeeded in creating a new initrd.img with my modules 
inside.
I used dracut tool with a long list of modules in /etc/dracut.conf and I 
included mine inside.
I noticed that it successfully loaded the bnx2 module and the .fw files.

Anyway, I still continue to have troubles because it generates a kernel panic 
just afterwards
 (can't find "block:/dev/ram" ). I suppose it is connected to the filesystems 
supported.

I will continue to troubleshoot this.

Kind Regards,
Costel
