You could proabably get away with something like: grep epic100 drivers.pcitable > bootnet.pcitable All you need is the lines from pcitable in order to get the PCI card to be recognized by the installer. However, if you are adding PCI cards to the pcitable that weren't present in the RH release, you might also want to make sure that kudzu's pci database knows about them as well. > And an additional question would be: how to use kickstart if I have to > use the drivers.img file for ethercards that are not included in > the modules contained in bootnet.img but are on the dricers.img? The 7.0 kickstart should have the capabilty to load up a drivers.img from a local disk (check Appendix F of the RH reference guide). I meant to see if you could use NFS to grab this image, but I never had a chance to test it out. This would be slick feature for the next release, though. -- Kelley Spoon Main: 210-892-4000 Rackspace Managed Hosting Fax: 210-892-4329 112 East Pecan, Suite 600 Email: kspoon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx San Antonio, TX 78205 <http://www.rackspace.com>
