I've CC'ed the devel list as they might have already written a script to do this... I'm trying to create a USB install image like diskboot.img from and for FC4. The thing is, I have to replace the default kernel with a new tree to accommodate a new RAID card and Ethernet card which isn't supported by the standard default kernel. I've got my upgrade drivers in - no problems there; the kernel boots and finds the newer cards w/o problem. The problem seems to be with updating the diskboot.img... I'm using a FC4-updated kernel image (2.6.12-1.1447_FC4smp). I've created the script below to help, but I can't figure-out why the new kernel or the installer can't find my Ethernet card... Any tips or suggestions on how to debug this would be great. BTW> I'm planning to write this into a how-to once I finish for everyone to follow as it's quite an involved process. cp /media/cdrecorder/images/diskboot.img ~/ mkdir ~/bootwork cd ~/bootwork mkdir -p initrd-old initrd-new/modules diskboot-old floppy 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4smp dd if=/dev/zero of=initrd bs=512 count=128000 /sbin/mke2fs -F -m0 initrd dd if=/dev/zero of=floppy.img bs=512 count=128000 /sbin/mkfs.vfat floppy.img syslinux floppy.img mount -o loop ~/diskboot.img diskboot-old mount -o loop floppy.img floppy cp diskboot-old/*.msg diskboot-old/syslinux.cfg diskboot-old/splash.lss floppy/ cp /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1447_FC4smp floppy/vmlinuz gunzip -dc diskboot-old/initrd.img > initrd.old cd initrd-old cpio -i -d -m < ../initrd.old cd - find /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1447_FC4smp/ -name *.ko | xargs -n 1 -I {} cp {} 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4smp cp -a initrd-old/bin initrd-new cp -a initrd-old/dev initrd-new cp -a initrd-old/etc initrd-new cp -a initrd-old/proc initrd-new cp -a initrd-old/sbin initrd-new cp -a initrd-old/selinux initrd-new cp -a initrd-old/sys initrd-new cp -a initrd-old/tmp initrd-new cp -a initrd-old/var initrd-new cp -a initrd-old/modules/module-info initrd-new/modules cp -a /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1447_FC4smp/modules.dep initrd-new/modules cp -a /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1447_FC4smp/modules.pcimap initrd-new/modules TMPFILE="pcitable.$$" OUTFILE="pcitable" INFILE="/lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1447_FC4smp/modules.pcimap" # Loop through the PCI map cat "$INFILE" | while read line; do MODULE=`echo "$line" | awk '{ print $1 }'` # Skip the comments if [ "$MODULE" != "#" ]; then VENDOR="0x"`echo "$line" | awk '{ print $2 }' | cut -c 7-` DEVICE="0x"`echo "$line" | awk '{ print $3 }' | cut -c 7-` SUBVENDOR="0x"`echo "$line" | awk '{ print $4 }' | cut -c 7-` SUBDEVICE="0x"`echo "$line" | awk '{ print $5 }' | cut -c 7-` DESCRIPTION=`modinfo "$MODULE" | grep "^description:" | cut -c 17-` if [ "$VENDOR" != "0xffff" ] && [ "$DEVICE" != "0xffff" ]; then if [ "$SUBVENDOR" == "0xffff" ] && [ "$SUBDEVICE" == "0xffff" ]; then # Print two IDs echo -ne "$VENDOR\t$DEVICE\t\"$MODULE\"" >> "$TMPFILE" if [ "$DESCRIPTION" != "" ]; then echo -e "\t\"$DESCRIPTION\"" >> "$TMPFILE" else echo >> "$TMPFILE" fi elif [ "$SUBDEVICE" == "0xffff" ]; then # Print three IDs echo -ne "$VENDOR\t$DEVICE\t$SUBVENDOR\t\"$MODULE\"" >> "$TMPFILE" if [ "$DESCRIPTION" != "" ]; then echo -e "\t\"$DESCRIPTION\"" >> "$TMPFILE" else echo >> "$TMPFILE" fi else # Print all four IDs echo -ne "$VENDOR\t$DEVICE\t$SUBVENDOR\t$SUBDEVICE\t\"$MODULE\"" >> "$TMPFILE" if [ "$DESCRIPTION" != "" ]; then echo -e "\t\"$DESCRIPTION\"" >> "$TMPFILE" else echo >> "$TMPFILE" fi fi fi fi done sort "$TMPFILE" -o "$TMPFILE".sorted uniq "$TMPFILE".sorted "$OUTFILE" rm -f "$TMPFILE" "$TMPFILE".sorted cp -a pcitable initrd-new/modules find 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4smp | cpio -o -H crc | gzip -c9 > modules.cgz cp -a modules.cgz initrd-new/modules cd initrd-old find . | cpio -o -H newc -O ../initrd cd - gzip -c9 initrd > initrd.img cp initrd.img floppy sync umount floppy umount diskboot-old dd if=floppy.img of=/dev/sdb cd Thanks, - G. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
