Hi.

I just compiled 2.6.0-test5 and found that the initrd was > 2x bigger
than it was in test4. In fact I had to tweak /sbin/mkinitrd as it was
running out of space when making it. I am curious about this and want to
examine the contents of the test5 initrd. How would I go about it?
I tried "mount -o loop /boot/initrd-2.6.0-test5.img /tmp/loop0" but it
hangs
