Well I think the problem is that during uncompression I get this message.
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"?

That should work, but you need to gzip -9c because otherwise the initrd can't be uncompressed.

Hello List,
I need to update the content of the 5mb initrd file that resides on the tftpserver. gunziping, mounting minix fs changing it and gzipping it doesn't do the trick.
How does suse/novell create this file?
Thanks in advance
