    Hello,

    I have a problem that my VIA 6410 IDE chip is not seen by the installer
    disk of Fedora Core 1. There is a really easy patch to this for the ide
    driver of the kernel and I already verified that it works. Now I have
    the problem that I would have to integrate this patch into the kernel
    used to boot from the CD1 of Fedora Core 1.

    Is there some documentation or HOWTO somewhere which explains how to
    recreate this CD with a new custom kernel? I tried but failed. It
    boots now the new kernel and I see the disks attached to the VIA chip
    but then when it wants to load the modules it tells me that the cpio
    format is not correct :(

    Hope someone here can give me a tip. Or maybe your interested in adding
    this small patch to the Fedora Kernel? ;P

    Thanks,

                 Jürgen
