Hello,
I know from RedHat 9 that I have an initrd file ( initrd_x_y_z.img)
under /boot
which is used in the boot process.
In the past, when I took that initrd file and renamed it to a *.gz
file (since it is in fact a compressed file ) and than ran:
gunzip initrd_x_y_z.img
mount -o loop initrd_x_y_z tmp
cd tmp
ls
I saw the contents of initrd.
When I tried the same in Fedora Core 4 /boot//boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img
and tried mount -o loop initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 tmp
I got :
ioctl: LOOP_CLR_FD: Device or resource busy
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
googling did not helped much ;
Any idea?
Regards,
John
