Well, I run mkinitrd as root and a boot iso image created

Actually, it is an INITial Ram Disk. It is like a boot iso, but it isn't exactly.

I rebooted my machine and all the required modules loaded before mounting

Sounds good.

Then my scsi device was found by the system.

Thanks for your help.

Good, and you are welcome.

What if I would like to remove that boot image? Or alter it?

If you remove it, your system will not work, unless you change your kernel from the default SUSE kernel. To make changes, just make changes in the modules line in /etc/sysconfig/kernel and rerun mkinitrd, or if you are changing something else involved, like adding a custom kernel, you would run mkinitrd with arguments. I believe mkinitrd --help will give you those. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 What if I apply a kernel patch through YOU.
