I’ve run into an interesting issue, and I’m
hoping a developer out there can provide some insight on how the module loading
happens with anaconda. Background: 1) Custom
distro based off of centos 5.0 2) Trying to
get support for an r8168 nic on new motherboard 3) We use
kickstart on the network to configure the distro What I have done: 1) Put the
r8168 module in the initrd 2) sed -e
"s|10ec Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.|10ec Realtek Semiconductor Co.,
Ltd.\n\t8168 RTL8111 PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller |" -i pci.ids 3) echo
"alias pci:v000010ECd00008168sv*sd*bc*sc*i* r8168" >>
modules.alias What I am experiencing: The module is in the initrd, and it does get
loaded. However the module doesn’t get loaded before the automatic
network configuration is done. If I manually ifconfig the card when I get to
stage2 the card works without issue. Any thoughts on how I can get it to load
the module sooner? Thanks, Joel |
