The first phase of starting up the CD is rather historical in that I used to use “syslinux”, this meant that the space for all of those startup files such as the initial ram disk and kernel was really tight. To save space on the boot floppy I placed the extra kernel modules in the file “rdfiles.tgz”. From the ADIOS development kit (adk) and after you have rebuilt the kernel, you can copy the files required from /lib/modules/2.4.28/kernel/drivers/net to /mnt/devel/adk/rdfiles/lib/modules/2.4.28/kernel/drivers/net and then “make rdfiles.tgz” and then rebuild the CD. Alternatively you could copy the net drivers into /mnt/initrd/lib/modules/2.4.28/kernel/drivers/net and then “make initrd” Note: The ADIOS 4 boot CD places all of the files that used to be in rdfiles within the initial ramdisk initrd.
