Hi,
I have to load NIC drivers for a specific vendor during initrd stage.
I can modify mkinitrd to do this but problem is that a particular MAC address should only get a specific ethX interface.
Now without the help of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX how can i achieve this.
During install time i can save the MAC address & which ethX into the ramdisk(with my customized mkinitrd).
Is UDEV into the initrd a solution to this problem? I am on Red- Hat Enterprise linux 4, kernel 2.6.9.
Is there a UDEV available in initrd stage?
Please let me know if i need to clarify more on my question.
thanks
