hi people i have made a custom driver disk for redhat 7.3 that includes the latest driver for the broadcom 4401 NIC (bcm4400.o) but i run into problems after the system is installed. i am able to use 'dd' at the boot: prompt during the install, and when i insert my custom driver disk - it detects the appropriate driver to copy (ie. bcm4400.o) - and the installation goes fine - i even get to configure the network interface for the broadcom NIC! When i reboot the machine after the installation is complete - my bcm4400.o driver is not anywhere on the hard drive, but '/etc/modules.conf' is configured to use the bcm4400 driver. The config is good, but it is useless because it cant find the driver that it needs to load. When i previously built the driver with the standard 2.4.18-3 kernel i got lots of unresolved dependency errors during the installation when anaconda tried to insert the driver from my custom driver disk. But after a reboot and a manual insmod of the driver (from a floppy disk) the driver was loaded without errors. I also tried building the driver on a machine with the 2.4.18-3BOOT kernel installed - and things went well for inserting the driver from the diskette - but then things go bad after the install. The driver is nowhere to be found and when i try to manually insmod it (from a floppy) i get the unresolved dependency errors. I guess my question is - how can i build a driver that will be good for the installation AND after installation - without having to modify the drivers on the cd? thanks pantz
