Ahh...because they changed things from the 2.4 kernel to the 2.6 kernel and I missed that small detail. If you do "file initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.img" you will notice it is a ext2 filesystem data. So, instead of using cpio you need to mount it someplace. So, you could do: mount initrd-2.4.21-40.ELsmp.img -o loop /mnt Then see what you have.... You can mount the other file on another mount point and compare. Ed -- While you're chewing, think of STEVEN SPIELBERG'S bank account ... his will have the same effect as two "STARCH BLOCKERS"!
