after more googling:
this is new since fc3 and the correct command to recreate the initrd is
cd /path/to/patched/dir
find . |cpio -o -H newc|gzip > newinitrd.img
and it works ;)
You might want to look at using
scripts/upd-initrd
scripts/upd-kernel
which are part of the anaconda-11.1.2.36.src.rpm .
They are only in the src.rpm .

hi all,
cpio -i seems to extract it.
can someone confirm that this is the new style for initrd?
(googling didn't reveal much. using file i found out it was cpio ;)

b. we are missing a scsi driver (for 3ware 9650) in the pxe initrd, so
i'm trying to add it (done this before.)
but know i get stuck in the very first step:
afterdownloading initrd.img, gunzipping it, i try to mount it and i
get the following error:
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
explicitly trying ext2 (and even ext3) it still fails.
i tried it with and sl45 initrd.img file and there it worked without
any problem.
any hints on how to get it working?
