To create an "initrd.img" file that has an edited "init" script containing the
"sleep 10" command, do the following:
1) Reboot using a "rescuecd" that mounts the USB partion on "/mnt/sysimage".
2) Create a new "initrd.img" file that contaims the USB and LVM modules with the
following commands:
# chroot /mnt/sysimage
# cd /boot
# KV=`uname -r`
# rm initrd-$KV.img
# mkinitrd --force-scsi-probe --force-lvm-probe initrd-$KV.img $KV
3) Unpack the new "initrd.img" file into a temporary subdirectory:
# mkdir tmpdir-initrd
# cd tmpdir-initrd
# zcat ../initrd-$KV.img | cpio --extract
4) Use the editor of your choice to edit the "init" file and add the "sleep 10"
line after the "stabilized /proc/bus/usb/devices" line.
5) Repack the subdirectory into the "initrd.img" file (Be sure to include the
"--format=newc" option on the "cpio" command - the default "cpio" format will
not boot):
# find . | cpio --create --format=newc | gzip -9 > ../initrd-$KV.img
6) Delete the temporary subdirectory:
# cd ..
# rm -fr tmpdir-initrd
7) Remove the "rescuecd" and reboot the system using the new "initrd.img".
# exit
# exit
