I believe the driver will need to go into the initrd.img file (which for the CD boot is inside a file called cdboot.img). The page you have select has shown you how to add and upgrade your BOOT kernel, but I assume you only want to add a driver. The procedure would be (being that I am a bit fuzzy as I have not done it in a while on this but it should give you an idea on what to google) Install you BOOT kernel source set IS_BOOT_UP 0 and USE_BOOT 1 the /boot/kernel.h compile the drivers for the e1000 grab initrd.img from inside cdboot.img unzip and mount initrd add the compiles e1000.o to modules.cgz add the driver info to pcitable and module-info umount initrd and recompress. Set /boot/kernel.h back to normal Remove the BOOT kernel source Burn a new CD using the new cdboot.img and all should work. -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Wolak, Piotr Sent: Friday, 4 June 2004 04:21 To: 'kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx' Subject: RH9 and missing proper e1000 network drivers Hello, I have a IBM x345 server which I want to kickstart with RH9 and do installation over HTTP/FTP. Unfortunately, the proper network drivers are not included on the original RH9 installation CD. I found a document which describes how to update the drivers and create a custom CD here http://www.puschitz.com/Kickstart.shtml but I can't use it in my case. My server will be using a public FTP/HTTP server for the installation data. I can modify the drivers on the CD (like update the kernel to 2.4.20-31.9 - the proper network drivers included) and make a custom CD but can't I update the stage2.img file which is on the public server. Do you know how can I build a driver under the standard RH9 BOOT kernel and transport it to a floppy and select it during the installation phase? I wish I could't go with Fedora but I can't at this time. Thanks for your help and best regards, Piotr _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
