Question need help with initrd in lilo.conf


Hi!
Im new to linux and have a question about lilo.
You see Im using a harddrive installed SLAX-based distro on my notebook, and the problem was that my battery was not being recognized, so I used Fluxx´s tutorial described at this forum (can´t post the link, apparently you have to post at least 5 posts to be able to include links???) that used the initrd function to get the battery support(Thanks Fluxx #:).

Anyway now Im following another tutorial to fix my bootscreen and here whey want me to create another initrd.
I have been trying to get both my battery and my bootscreen to load at the same time using the initrd = ... in the lilo.conf, but with no success.

Is it possible to load several initrd files at startup with lilo? or am I totally lost?

Thanks
//Anders

I don't think so. You will have to combine everything you need into a single initrd.

Ok, thanks bulliver!
So how do I do this? I have been using the mkinitrd program to make both initrd files, can I use the same program or is there a different program I need to use to just merge the two files?

Thanks
