Re: Squeeze Netinstall no disk detect on Vmware

Yes of course,

First you have to download an iso cdrom image of squeeze:
-Extract it's initrd.gz
-ungzip it
-make directory, enter it and use cpio -id  < ../initrd to have files and directory
-get files from /lib/modules/KERNEL_VERSION/kernel/drivers/scsi/

Second download NetBoot image (same release that cdrom image)
-Extract it's initrd.gz

-ungzip it

   -make directory, enter it and use cpio -id  < ../initrd to have files and directory

-put files into the same path that cdrom iso. It must have the same KERNEL_VERSION.

For rebuiding the new NetBoot initrd.gz:

   - In your new init directory  -> find . | cpio --create --format='newc' > /tmp/newinitrd
   - gzip /tmp/newinitrd
