Unfortunately I am stuck with a bunch of Crappy Linksys V 4.1 ethernet cards... Although they are not supported out of the box in 6.2 or 7.0 I have gotten them to work by inserting Donald Beckers network drivers. Now I am trying to do a network nfs kickstart with these same cards. I am going crazy trying to figure out how to substitute those driver modules into the kickstart framework....( this is my first kickstart ) So here is what I did so far.... I have some 3Com Vortex cards(these work out of the box with 6.2 installer) laying around... so I got a kickstart over NFS using DHCP working just fine with these cards. Then(knowing that I have a working process) I I tried to substitute in Donald Beckers(www.scyld.com) drivers into modules.cgz in the initrd from the bootnet-20000407.img. I have tried a couple variations on this but none of them seem to work I always get the same result. The kickstart falls through too looking for /tmp/kickstart.cfg..... .... On Alt F4 console I get not indication of the 3c59x.o module loading successfully... On the Alt F3 console I get the following.... probing buses finish bus probing found suggestion of 3cf9x found 3c59x device found devices justProbe is 0 going to insmod pci-scan.o(path is null) going to insmod 3c59x.o(path is null) sending DHCP request through eth0 Pump told us : siocsifaddr:no such device no dhcp response Ok so what I have done... downloaded 2.2.14-5.0 source from RedHat.... added Beckers drivers.... did make modules..... then got the modules.cgz from the bootnet-20000407.img initrd and replaced the networking modules with the new ones I compile and put them back in the modules.cgz -> back in the initrd.... The first time I put the modules in the original 2.2.14-5.0BOOT dir... second time I change the dir name to 2.2.14-5.0.. dir... (I am not really sure how the kernel finds the modules... is /modules/modules.cgz a default place for the kernel to look?)... I also modified the modules.dep file in initrd to include the dependency of the D Becker network drivers on pci-scan.o modules(that part seem to be working as shown in the output).. So does anybody have any idea what I am doing wrong?..... Any help is greatly appreciated...Thanks in advance.... Scott Shealy
