Hi there,

I think you have made a mistake while you were building rpm for your custom 
kernel.

Modules should be placed in /lib/modules/{kernel_version}-{kernel_release} 
(for example /lib/modules/2.6.14-1.1635_FC5) and not 
in /lib/modules/{kernel_version} like in your case. 

Kadischi resolves kernel version (2.6.14EPIAIX) and release number (1) out of 
the rpm database. It expects to find your modules 
in /lib/modules/2.6.14EPIAIX-1 and they are not there.

The best thing to do would be rebuilding kernel rpm with these problems fixed, 
but if you want a fast&dirty way out, you can try to hardcode kernel version 
variable in livecd-mkinitrd.sh (line 105: kernel="2.6.14EPIAIX").

Good luck :)
