Hello all,
I am trying to do a kickstart install on several machines that have
harddrives but no floppy. Some of these machines have SCSI harddrives
while others have IDE. On those with IDE harddrives I do the following:
1) copy the files in bootnet.img to /boot/ks
#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p /tmp/ks.bootnet
mount -o loop bootnet.img /tmp/ks.bootnet
cp -a /tmp/ks.bootnet /boot/ks
2) copy my ks.cfg file to /boot/ks
3) add this stanza to /etc/lilo.cfg:
image=/boot/ks/vmlinuz
label=install
initrd=/boot/ks/initrd.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
append="ks=hd:hda1/ks/ks.cfg"
4) update lilo with 'lilo && lilo -R install'
5) reboot
This works just fine for the machines with IDE drives. However, on the
machines with SCSI drives, linux complains with "failed to mount sda1". My
guess is that the /boot/ks/vmlinuz kernel does not have the SCSI driver
loaded. Am I correct? If I am, can the kernel load the SCSI driver as a
module? If so, where should I put the module(s)?
Regards,
- Robert
