To have a liveCD with a custom kernel 

1. Build your custom kernel with squashfs (as a loadable module).
    The appropriate patch for your kernel can be found at the squashfs site
     (squashfs.sourceforge.net)
2. Generate the kernel RPM 
3. Replace the original kernel rpm in the repository with the new kernel RPM you created.
4. Run createrepo (see wiki) to update your repository.
5. If needed make changes to the kernel command line parameters
    in /usr/local/share/kadischi/install-boot.sh
    For eg: I added "mem=128M elevator=as" below:

...tructated....
label linux
  kernel vmlinuz
  append initrd=initrd.img quiet $kernel_params mem=128M elevator=as
....truncated....

Thanks,
Shesh.
