I have them compiled into the kernel now but I got it working at one point with modules by doing the follow:
(1) Make a directory called /initrd.
(2) Download the Redhat source rpm for mkinitrd and compile it (I could never get it working with SuSE's mk_initrd).
Egads.. download the Redhat rpm to use on SuSe? Ha ha, you have alot of nerve putting that on this list. :-) (At least you could have said " get the tarball") Just kidding. Suse's mk_initrd works just fine. The secret is it defaults to the modules listed in rc.config under "mk_initrd modules; and it defaults to the "suse-naming-scheme " for kernels. So if you are rolling and naming your own kernels, you need to read "man mk_initrd" to see how to change the default settings.
