Hi all,

We're trying to modify SL4.3 in order to be able to boot very new machines 
over the network. In fact this has not been possible since the hardware is 
not detected by the 2.6.9 kernel at PXE boot time (btw the very first step).

My question is if anyone, if possible, can tell me how does the SL team create 
the initrd image to boot from PXE. I can create the kernel myself (i.e. 
2.6.20, and make it detect the hardware) but I can't create the initrd image 
to start a kickstart installation (so mkinitrd doesn't help here). I tried to 
use the initrd image for pxe that comes with 2.6.9 but since it can't load 
the modules it does not allow me to go on with the installation (even though 
the kernel detected the hardware before).

Thank you all!
Regards,
Pablo Fernandez
