I've made some enhancements to mkinitrd 1.1 (some of which were inspired
my Miguel de Icaza [thanks!]) and a beta version is available on
ftp.redhat.com in /ewt as mkinitrd-1.1 RPM's.
It includes:
1) a man page ;-) [see, I really can write documentation]
2) loads multiple scsi devices (as specified by /etc/conf.modules)
3) passed module options at insmod time (as specified by
/etc/conf.modules)
4) "--with=module" (or --with module) makes causes the specified
module to be loaded after the scsi module(s)
5) -v makes the initrd creating a bit more verbose
6) -f forces mkinitrd to overwrite an existing image
Something like:
mkinitrd --with=raid0 /sbin/initrd.img 2.0.18
Please let me know if this works (or doesn't).
Erik
