Line 1: Line 1:
The [[Linux boot process]] will first mount an initial [[ramdisk]] to mount the [[harddisk]]s. This is how you modify an initrd:
+
#REDIRECT [[Mindmapping]]
 
 
mkdir tmp
 
cd tmp
 
cp /boot/initrd initrd.gz
 
gunzip initrd.gz
 
mkdir tmp2
 
cd tmp2
 
[http://linux.die.net/man/1/cpio cpio] -id < ../initrd
 
Do the needed changes now in this folder. Then pack the initrd again:
 
/tmp/tmp2 # find . | cpio --create --format='newc' > ../newinitrd
 
40242 blocks
 
/tmp/tmp2 # cd ..
 
/tmp # gzip newinitrd
 
Your new [[initrd]] is now called newinitrd.gz.
