I am trying to install RHEL4U2 on a hardware RAID volume. The driver disk is added into RH installer's initrd as dd.img in the root. A customized ks.cfg is also integrated into the initrd. This is to ensure that RedHat installer starts off and installs RHEL on the RAID volume automatically. By default, RHEL doesn't recognize this voulme, additional drivers (present in
dd.img) are required. The idea is to automate the installation process.
I added the following line to ks.cfg file:
driverdisk --source=
file://dd.img --type=ext2
However, on reboot, anaconda loader crashes with signal 11.
The last message on console 3 was:
* found /dd.img, loading drivers
* mntloop loop6 on /tmp/drivers as /dd.img fd is 10
The last message on cosole 4 was:
<4>VFS: Cant find ext2 filesystem on dev loop6.
<3>cramfs: wrong magic
Is it possible to integrate a driver disk image within the initrd? Or is it not something supported by Anaconda?
If this is not the recommended approach, what other methods can be followed? Writing the DuD into a floppy is not an option as the server does not have a floppy drive. And, the installation is supposed to be automatic.
--Thanks
