Hi guys, I have my driverdisk created and the files are on a USB pendrive. How do I make the USB pendrive /dev/sdb and not /dev/sda??? I am wanting the installation to take place on sda and the driver disk to be sdb? My driver disk is a network driver disk, r8168. Jerry

...nstall from my local mirror .. where do i store it ? on the wiki page itself, as an attachment ? a simple link to a tmp space on my website ? I'm now wondering what's the best way to include the atl2.ko module during setup : a rpm that will be fetched from centos extras (?) or a simple driverdisk ?

I've managed to install CentOS 5.1 on S5000PAL with fakeraid Intel Embedded Raid Technology II Raid1 (LSI chipset) with some help of kickstart declaration 'driverdisk --source=http://.../driver.img' Then I've had some problems with yum update - new kernel didn't know about megasr.ko. I've solved it with commands: cd /lib/modules/ cp 2.6.18-53.el5PAE/updates/megasr.ko 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5PAE/updates/ depmod -a 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5PAE mkinitrd /boot/...

Hi I have a running kernel with the same kernel version of that in the kickstart that contains the Buslogic driver which would enable me to install a vmware client using kickstart. Is there an 'easy' way to take the initrd that contains the correct drivers and inject these into the initrd of the kickstart kernel? Or does anyone have a kickstart initrd available with the Buslogic

I would like to add a driver (bcm5700.ko) in modules.cgz. but there are several files modules.cgz .

Hi, I need to add a driver in my usb install key kickstart to handle some crap hp fake raid. The thing is the "driverdisk" option offers "partition" or some network options. I would like to put everything on the key, so no network. Does "partition" mean it is restricted to the "/" of it? Does it mean that either I have to extract the .img file in the "/" of my usb key (a b...

Hi, I have alot of kickstart and scripting going on as I provision lots of machines, and every now and then I run into a pesky machine or three that's still got that Adeptec zero-channel RAID card sitting on the board. Normally I like to rip it our and throw something more robust in, but if it's a cache machine or whatever, I leave it in. It makes my kickstart file useless until I

Dear centos community, I was in the process of installing centos in a machine however during the install the OS is unable to see the controller "MegaRAID SAS 9280-24i4e", i noticed that LSI has some drivers for centos. Can someone guide me on how to load the drivers so the OS can see the controller as it loads. Thank you in advance. Lisandro -------------- next part -------------- An

...ntroller. CentOS 4.5 installation does not see the PERC 6/i controller. Dell and LSI Logic only support RHEL 4U6 and higher and SuSe. I've tried building the boot images with the new driver for installation but kickstart still doesn't see the raid controller. I've also used the DRIVERDISK directive within kickstart but that didn't work either. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone have any suggestions on what I might try next? Appreciate any help.

ok - I tried this too. But CentOS tries to find the floppy as /dev/hda which is not the device for the USB-Floppy. Dell ships one with the server because no one is integrated. So when I try to include the driver disk the installer is not able to find it. -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] Im Auftrag von Jim Perrin Gesendet:
