However if you need to do it, very easy. put name of modules you must have loaded into /etc/modules file (in correct order!), Then you make sure that you have kernel headers existing in right place (ie make symlink from /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-2 or /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.14.-1 to /usr/src/linux. then run command mkinitrd -o initrd.img-my-inird-mykernelnumber /lib/modules/`uname -r` `uname-r` then copy the file initrd.img-my-inird-mykernelnumber to /boot and change the line in grub that refers to initrd to refer to the new one. for lilo need to run lilo i think, good luck if you use yaird, havent had pleasure.
