Edit initrd.gz (SOLVED)
Edit initrd.gz (SOLVED)
I'm using this (the GUI one). My resulting initrd after the rebuit is only a few bytes. Can't be right. Anyone been using this and got it working?

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Open and read the help file.
initrd.gz file has to be in /root, otherwise you will get only few bytes big initrd.gz
If you still have troubles here is how you can edit initrd from command line:

If you have edit-initrd.sh in /usr/sbin, from the command line use:
Code: Select all
/usr/sbin/edit-initrd.sh /path-to/initrd.gz
