I'm sure my wrap settings are going to mess this up..... All on one line.... cp initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptlcustom.img /tmp/initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptlcustom.img.gz cd /tmp gunzip initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptlcustom.img.gz cat initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptlcustom.img | cpio -it This will show you all the files in the archive. cpio is similar to tar. Then do the same thing with initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.img and compare the output. On the same hardware they should be the same... One thing that does bother me.... I don't quite understand your earlier comment of "Fedora is installed what host OS on vmware".
