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?

Maybe link to program?

Quick test with ver.1.4 and it works fine.
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:

Ah, thanks Saintless. I didn't see the reply there.

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
