okay, I've got pretty much everything working the way I want to,
except that RHEL3s lack of hardware support. the last step is to
replace the kernel used for kickstarts[1]. I'm installing from a
USB pen, with packages coming from http, so I have plenty of space
on the pen to hold all the modules and drives I want.
now, I tried to just replace vmlinuz with a (large) static kernel.
this worked, in the sense that the system booted with that kernel,
but then the system proceeds to boot from the harddrive, not from
the USB pen and hence it doesn't start the kickstart process.
obviously, there is something more than just replacing the kernel
that's needed.
now, I can use 2.4 if I have to, but I'd really like to use 2.6 if I
can. all I wish to do is to replace the RHEL-kernels with a working
kernel with one patch.
[1] I'd also need to make the kernel available after the machine
boots from the harddrive.
