Thread: New Initrd for Compute node group

I need to create a new initrd for the compute nodes.
I know that the initrd files are on /tftpboot/kusu/ folder. So, I generate once with the mkinitrd but it is not working since the driver. Additionally, I tried to use the buildinitrd, but it seems only work for image and diskless groups.
Could you someone teach me for this change?

Hi

New initrd's are built when you change the drivers in them. For diskless and imaged nodes editing the modules will cause ngedit to call buildinitrd. For package based nodes when a component provides drivers, and updates the driverpack table, then ngedit will call driverpatch. When driverpatch is called it patches in all drivers.

You can call driverpatch manually using:
driverpatch nodegroup name={Your nodegroup name}

Thanks, I could generated a new initrd but I the new file do not load the modules options at /etc/modprobe.conf file.
is it possible to do that? to generated a inirtd that load the options from /etc/modprobe.con?
