We are trying for 2 ways: 1) Creating Boot CD 2) PXE-DHCP boot mode, in this mode we have the initrd.img with the modules for USB in initrd_template/my_modules and charge these modules in my_modules/INSMOD_COMMANDS file but when I create the initrd with mkcramfs command, then I compress with gzip and rename the file to initrd.img, but the boot process fail with the following error: ... request module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-0000 request module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-0000 request module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-0000 request module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-0000 ... the modules charging are: insmod megaraid_mm.ko insmod megaraid_mbox.ko insmod scsi_transport_fc.ko insmod shpchp.ko insmod sd_mod.ko insmod sg.ko insmod e1000.ko insmod usbcore.ko insmod usbserial.ko insmod usb-storake.ko insmod uhci_hcd.ko insmod ehci_hcd.ko insmod usbhid.ko insmod usbkbd.ko insmod usbmouse.ko insmod qla2200.ko insmod qla2300.ko insmod qla2xxx.ko insmod parport_pc.ko but, I think that the boot process die when it try open to initrd.img what we have modified, I create this FS with mkcramfs, dos and ext2 without result. Answer: Is possible that with a beta version 3.7.x from SystemImager, the si_mkautoinstallcd utility is functional for IA64 architecture?
