Quoting Erik Bussink <ebussink gmail com>:
Okay, you can forget about that :-) I found the mkinitrd command. We have rebuilt initrd for the 2.6.9-34 kernel with the LSI driver, and rebooted the test server. It came up fine. We will now do the same for the live server.Whoa... it seems to me that you are over-complicating things a lot. I've never had to rebuild initrd under RHEL4U3 to be able to load the LSI driver by default with a VMware Guest set on LSI Logic.
You do need to do that if you change the type of device driver needed to mount root partition (like from BusLogic to LSI, like he needs to do).
BTW, I didn't know that LSI driver included in RHEL4U3 works with VmWare's emulation of LSI controller. I guess it is much simpler to change virtual machines back to LSI controller then using/recompiling additional BusLogic device driver, and is probably the way I'll be going too.
