Chris, When you "mangle" initrd on your boot floppy, does the kernel you install already include the updated driver or are you only fixing the boot floppy? We've noticed that if the boot floppy kernel version does not exactly match the kernel you are installing, anaconda and kudzu will not properly set up things during kickstart (like sound). Anaconda assumes the kernel on the boot floppy is the kernel you are installing and writes things into /lib/modules with that assumption. To get around this, we've always done the following: - Integrate latest drivers (tg3, e100, e1000, sym53c8xx, etc) into kernel and rebuild all kernels (for 7.3, this might be 2.4.18-27.7.x.cisco.1 or 2.4.20-20.7.cisco.1) - Include the new kernels in our image and use /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/buildinstall to remake the boot floppies with our new kernel This has proven to integrate the latest drivers into both the boot floppy and the installed kernel. /Brian/ On Mon, 2003-10-20 at 20:04, Chris Adams wrote: > I've updated my script that allows you to add and delete modules and/or > replace the kernel/modules on a boot floppy.
