hi

i've lost my initrd file (the only one that existed)...now i can't boot, because
it's missing. i've tried to create a new with the CD (linux rescue), but that
doesn't work, because mkinitrd doesnt find /lib/modules/<kernel-version>
because it's mounted as /mnt/sysimage/lib/modules/<kernel-version>. i know, i
shoudl chroot /mnt/sysimage, but this doesn't work (i think because the cd is
fedora core 1 and the system is updated to the latest development packages).

any ideas how i could create the needed initrd-file?

regards
red_alert

ps. i can't burn the latest CDs, because i've no cd burner available atm :(




I can't verify this immediately as my Linux box is 12 miles away in my home, but I recall that mkinitrd accepts a parameter identifying the assumed root of the file system. Try "mkinitrd -h" and set /mnt/sysimage as the assumed root.
Cheers,
