7. Create a new ramdisk to reflect the changes made. This may be
done by using the lpfc-install script or by manually creating a
new ramdisk.
• When using the
lpfc-install script, use the
-configramdisk option.
For example:
cd /home/emulex/lpfc_2.4_driver_kit-7.1.14-4/
./lpfc-install -configramdisk
The output will be similar to the following:
Emulex LPFC Driver Installer Version 1.4.1.10
Determining distribution type and kernel version ...

Configuring /etc/modules.conf ...
Original saved as /etc/modules.elx
Original ramdisk image /boot/initrd-2.4.21-27.0.1.ELsmp.img saved as
/boot/initrd-2.4.21-27.0.1.ELsmp.img.elx
Creating ramdisk ..
The ramdisk for this kernel has been updated.
• Depending upon your distribution, use one of the following
instruction sets when manually creating a new ramdisk.
– For Red Hat distributions, use:
cd /boot
mkinitrd -v initrd-$1.img $1
where $1 is the currently running v2.4.x kernel version.
For example:
cd /boot
cp initrd-2.4.21-15.0.4.ELsmp.img initrd-2.4.21-15.0.4.ELsmp.img.orig
mkinitrd –v initrd-2.4.21-15.0.4.ELsmp.img 2.4.21-15.0.4.ELsmp
– For SuSE distributions use:
cd /boot
mkinitrd -k vmlinuz- $1 -i initrd- $1
For example:
cd /boot
cp initrd-2.4.21-266 initrd-2.4.21-266.orig
mkinitrd -k vmlinuz-2.4.21-266 -i initrd-2.4.21-266
8. Reboot the host.
