I was looking for the initrd.gz in the installation medium. I found two:
/install.386/gtk/initrd.gz and /install.386/initrd.gz
They aren't the same.
Why are there two versions of them?
Is it ok to take this one: /install.386/initrd.gz?
/install.386/gtk/initrd.gz is for a graphical insall and /install.386/initrd.gz
is for a text based install
Ok, now I have a file called initrd. But I don't know what to do with it.
I found this page:
http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-initrd.html
Chapter 6.4 Examining the initrd contents tells me to:
mount -t cramfs /boot/initrd.img-2.6.12-1-686 /mnt/initrd -o loop
So I took my gunzipped file and tried to mount it into a directory. But I
get the message that it's a wrong fs type.
What am I doing wrong?
Best regards
Ramon
I don't think you did anything wrong; but it would seem that the
extracted filesystem is not a cramfs file system. At one time they were
just ext2fs, but times change.
If no one else can offer help on the file system used, you might like to
try the debian wiki, they might have the correct file system in use.
