Hi Andi, this initrd is right off the SLES 8 SP3 cd. Without the trailing garbage it doesn't boot anymore. How can I re-add this to the initrd?

Well I think the problem is that during uncompression I get this

root@deinst01> gzip -d initrd.gz
gzip: initrd.gz: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored
when I recompress this file it is smaller than the original and doesn't boot anymore.
What is that "trailing garbage ignored"?
It's possible to append a custom DSDT to the initrd. DSDT is a BIOS ACPI table which is often buggy on laptops and can be replaced. But for non laptops that's rarely done and the installer never does it on its own.
