Hello folks,

I recently decided to migrate my root partition into reiser4.

reiser4 will not compile into the kernel because it has a dependency on ZLIB_INFLATE, which i have kept a module.

Hence iam forced to keep reiser4 as a module, and so need the initrd to include this module so that i can mount my new root partition (which will be in reiser4) at boot time.

mkinitrd on other distros create a ramdisk with the fs drivers also included. I tried genkernel, with no success and the gentoo mkinitrd doesn't help either.

So is there any generic way to do it?

P.S. ZLIB_INFLATE=m is not an option as it depends on PPP, ISO9660 and a whole host of others, which i need as a module.
