I haven't yet created a script for RHEL5 but it should be very easy to modify the mkinitrd script that comes with RHEL5 to use a similar method. I was working on multipath for RHEL5 and had planned to make one, but I had to give up the machine I was using in our lab because we had a higher priority issue come up. I saved my work so when I get access to the hardware again I'll fix up a RHEL5 mkinitrd script. > I checked your script earlier.. when I didn't find the link for it from the > web page :) Yeah, I appreciate you pointing out that it was difficult to find the link on the page. After you left comments that you didn't see it I tried to make the link more obvious. I've had a fair amount of feedback offline about the script, there are quite a few people using it successfully, but I'll admit that it is still a hack and probably overkill. I just needed something that I knew would work and so far it hasn't let me down.
