Hi Rudi,

Maybe you must add the --type FLAG and give the path of driver like this

*driverdisk --source=cdrom://path/to/dd.img


*as the path of ks.cfg file*

I hope this help you.

    Hi

    Does anyone know how todo this?
    According to the CentOS 5 kickstart notes,
    http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/centos5/centos5_installation_guide/centos5_s1-kickstart2-options.html
    I need to use the driverdisk option, but I can't get it to work The
    motherboard I use is a Gigabyte GA-32MX-S2, which has the
    following NIC:
    http://wiki.centos.org/HardwareList/CentOS5/RealTek/r1000
    So, I saved the r1000-2.6.18_8.img file to the ISO image before I
    burned
    it to a CD

    Adding the line "driverdisk=r1000-2.6.18_8.img" to ks.cfg just
    gives me
    an error.

    Trying the option "expert" also gives me an error. So, how do I load a
    NIC driver disk via the kickstart file?

Unfortunately that option didn't work. The installer then stops and prompts for a driver disk, which I don't want.
