similar to: Adding USB support to a given initrd in syslinux

Quite simply, HOW? :) I have the pxeboot initrd.img from the RH 3.0 AS CD's. We need to put a new cciss.o driver from HP into this initrd.img. Unforunately, the modules in the pxeboot initrd.img we have are 2.4.21-4 and our new driver is compiled for 2.4.21-15, so we have to upgrade everything. I downloaded the kernel-BOOT-2.4.21-15 RPM and installed that, so I have all those drivers. My

I'm new to the lists so sorry about any faux pas I may have made. Also I apologize for the length, but I wanted to be sure I covered most of the details. I'm trying to do a PXE install on an Intel 1435VP2 server machine. The PXE install has worked on all the older machines in the cluster, so I know PXE is working. However, these new Intel server machines only support PXE booting from

Hi, I have built a Red Hat 7.2 system kernel 2.4.7-10 using pxelinux from syslinux-2.09 I have then installed the latest Broadcom BCM5700 Linux Driver Version 7.1.22 as per the README.TXT:- rpm -ivh bcm5700-7.1.22-1.src.rpm cd /usr/src/redhat rpm -bb SPECS/bcm5700.spec rpm -ivh --force RPMS/i386/bcm5700-7.1.22-1.i386.rpm The system reboots fine and is using the new driver I now want to update my

Hi All, I have an "appliance" cd which uses CentOS 4.0 (Final) which I am trying to load on a new Dell 1950 server with a SAS driver controller. During the install it fails to find any disks to load to. I got the drivers from Dell and dd the correct one to a floppy, boot from the appliance cd and enter linux dd at the prompt. I load the driver in the install and it still fails to find

My goal is to be able to install to the drive array on the 3Ware controller card. 3Ware does provide a RH WS 3 driver that I've tried to use; however, the RH Enterprise 3 WS driver doesn't work since that kernel is older than the CentOS-3.1 install kernel. I'm trying to create a centOS-3.1 installation driver disk for the 3ware 9500S card; however, I'm not having much luck.

I think you need to either a) not try to preserve the labels or b) run the backup as a user which can manage labels.

Hi, to install current PC models (with new Intel NICs) via Kickstart/PXE, I wanted to add the newest e1000e-Treiber to initrd.img. With this modified image, the Kickstart kernel crashes with the following error messages: [...] md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE. RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 RAMDISK: incomplete write (20480 != 32768) 6062080

Hi, I have an HP 8530w laptop. I need ti instal it under CentOS 5.2 x86_64 - kernel 2.6.18-92. The network card is not recognized. I have add the driver e1000e-0.5.11.2 (dowload from Intel site). After compiled and installed the driver, all work fine! But I need to make a network installation and the Intel network card should be recognized before. I found the following script on the net and

Hi, I have installed Xen from the binaries (2.3.4 in "Users'' manual") and I have got to the point of setting up the networking for Domain0. In order to do this I need to compile ndiswrapper and when I try this I get the following: Can''t find kernel sources in /lib/modules/2.6.11.12-xen0/build; give the path to kernel sources with KSRC=<path> argument to

I'm teaching myself about ethernet cards, and found a TLDP page. I have CentOS 5.3. In this section: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO-2.html#ss2.4 in the 'Driver as module' subsection, regarding PCI cards, it states that there should be a directory "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/net" [mykolas at sr1220 ~]$ uname -r 2.6.18-128.1.16.el5 [mykolas at sr1220

Hello, you guys have helped me before. I am setting up a multiboot system on my usb stick. At one point, with syslinux, i had the two of the three systems working. However in a sucessful attempt to get the third working, i used that os'es instructions for usb installition, which included syslinux. After which, that system worked, with its syslinux.cfg being located in a non-root folder

I am attempting to install Gentoo on my cdless machine using the thumbdrive as a boot device. The motherboard is an Intel D815EEA, and is the latest firmware revision (at least on the BIOS). I believe I have done everything right, but it tells me I have unknown keywords in my syslinux.cfg and corrupt kernel images. The steps I have followed are thus: 1) Starting with a 4GB flash device,

I converted my lvm root initrd to an initramfs by putting glibc, lvm, pivot_root, my linuxrc, etc. in my initramfs source file. I use ash compiled against klibc to run my linuxrc Unfortunately - pivot_root . initrd - complains - pivot_root: Invalid argument I suspect this may be because you can't pivot_root using a cpio initramfs root? If so, what should I do instead? Should I

List, I have attempted to make my own megaraid driver disk for a Dell PowerEdge 2300. The procedure I'm using is detailed at the end of this message. In short, I followed samples that I collected after Googling around. The problem I face is that the CentOS 4 installer can't seem to mount the driver disk after I have created it. It gives no information other than, "Cannot

Hi, I want to customize initrd so that I can run my application once vmlinuz loads initrd. (similar to dos booting - dos runs autoexec.bat) I copied vmlinuz & initrd from RHEL4 ISO. Mounted initrd renamed 'linuxrc' exe to linuxrc1 created new script linuxrc called linuxrc1 from linuxrc script called my application from linuxrc script. But I receive "kernel panic" error:

hi ya syslinuxerz - i've been slowly working on a making a custom bootable standalone usb-stick with X11 and kde - it's basically builds itself off of a slackware-10.1 server - create a custom initrd.gz ( /dev/ram0 ) http://linux-boot.net/Bootable/InitRD/ - create a custom rootfs.gz ( /dev/loop0 ) http://linux-boot.net/Bootable/RootFS/ - create X11 and kde loopfiles

Im n/w booting machine with kernel - vmlinuz and initrd initrd.img. I copied vmlinuz & initrd.img from RHEL4 iso. I want to modify initrd.img so that when 2nd stage boot loader loads initrd, my custom application gets executed. linuxrc in initrd.img is sym-link to /sbin/init. My steps: 1. Renamed linuxrc to linuxrc1 2. created new linuxrc script & invoked "/linuxrc1" from

I started a COM32 module for displaying the hardware ressources we can detect in syslinux. I'm using the PCI COM32 module to detect the PCI devices, the CPUID COM32 module for the processor, and the DMI COM32 module to find the other information (motherboard, system, cpu,..). About the PCI devices, I'm using the "pci.ids" file from the pciutils package to display the

Hi, I am trying to load kernel 2.6.6 on a Soekris net4521 from the network using PXE. I built my initrd with mkinitrd. RedHat nash (while running linuxrc) hangs after mounting /proc and says "Creating block devices". I am using the pxelinux.0 from the syslinux-2.10 distribution and the kernel and initrd were built on redhat 9.0. I built my kernel with BLK_DEV_RAM, RAMFS, TMPFS,
