Ah, you're much newer. It could just be the hwdata that needs to get updated in your case. I think I, last spring, did the mod_load's in the ks.cfg but didn't find it to be as elegant as putting a mkinitrd preloading my drivers into the kernel's %post (not kickstart -- in the rpm script). If the driver is good with the kernel and all are on the cdrom, then you probably only need to update the files in the isolinux/initrd.img with the right pci controller information. Oh, you can then ignore my script then too... In this case it might be as easy as: gzip -d < isolinux/initrd.img > /tmp/initrd.img mkdir /tmp/initrd mount -o loop /tmp/initrd.img /tmp/initrd <fix up module-info, pcitable, modules.pcimap, modules.dep (if necessary) umount /tmp/initrd gzip -9 < /tmp/initrd.img > isolinux/initrd.img <burn the image> I'm still stuck in 7.3 installers -- so much for "corporate standardization" in my world. I haven't tried this as I'm still in the dark ages but you should be able to verify that your controller is mapped to a driver in these files. Use 'lspci' on the installed system to work out the right PCI info. I will verify the results of my lspci agains newer hwdata rpms and then update the entries accordingly. peter
