    mkinitrd in RHEL

    Hi,

    I'm trying to install a customized version of xen on RHEL. The customized xen is required by the software which only provides steps for SUSE.

    In one step, something like the following is done in SUSE:
    mkinitrd -k /lib/modules/2.6.22.6-mtyrel-64bit-xen/linux -i /lib/modules/2.6.22.6-mtyrel-64bit-xen/initrd -M /lib/modules/2.6.22.6-mtyrel-64bit-xen/System.map

    I wonder what's its counterpart in RHEL? Thanks.

    mkinitrd is the same irregardless of distribution.

    It seems that my RHEL's mkinitrd doesn't have the -i -k -M options.

    Run this and check for the equivalents. I say again, mkinitrd is the same irregardless of the distro.

    man -8 mkinitrd

    If you do not understand what mkinitrd does, highly suggest you dont manipulate it until you're done reading the man page fully.
