loading driverdisk in isolinux.cfg
Hi,
I am trying to accomplish a kickastart installation of RHEL5.4. I am loading a driverdisk[megasr] which has been copied to the RHEl5.4 ISO image root directory. I am trying to do this as to run the installation without any additional fdd's. My isolinux.cfg is as follows : default linux ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg prompt 1 timeout 600 display boot.msg F1 boot.msg F2 options.msg F3 general.msg F4 param.msg F5 rescue.msg label linux kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img dd=cdrom:/megasr-13.12.1009.2009-1-rhel50-u4-all.img label text kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img text label ks kernel vmlinuz append ks initrd=initrd.img label local localboot 1 label memtest86 kernel memtest append - My ks.cfg is as follows : install cdrom key --skip lang en_US.UTF-8 keyboard us xconfig --startxonboot network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp rootpw --iscrypted $1$RByT0rMh$Q7lvC55bQOHunY5B0HR..1 firewall --enabled --port=22:tcp authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 selinux --enforcing timezone --utc America/New_York bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=hda --append="rhgb quiet" # The following is the partition information you requested # Note that any partitions you deleted are not expressed # here so unless you clear all partitions first, this is # not guaranteed to work clearpart --linux --drives=hda part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=hda part pv.6 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=hda volgroup VolGroup01 --pesize=32768 pv.6 logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol00 --vgname=VolGroup01 --size=1024 --grow logvol swap --fstype swap --name=LogVol01 --vgname=VolGroup01 --size=1024 --grow --maxsize=2048 %packages @admin-tools @base @core @development-libs @development-tools @dialup @editors @gnome-desktop @gnome-software-development @games @graphical-internet @graphics @java @legacy-software-support @office @printing @sound-and-video @text-internet @web-server @x-software-development @base-x kexec-tools fipscheck device-mapper-multipath sgpio imake emacs libsane-hpaio mesa-libGLU-devel xorg-x11-utils xorg-x11-server-Xnest xorg-x11-server-Xvfb -sysreport Basically I want the megasr drivers get loaded as installation begins before the default ahci drivers, but currently it is unable to load them as I guess they are not being detected from the argument in isolinux.cfg. Any pointers??? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Prasad. |
You don't seem to be using the 'driverdisk' option in your kickstart file...

Hi KBP,
Wouldn't reference to the driverdisk in the isolinux.cfg suffice ?? or do we also need to mention the same in the kickstart configuration?? Could you please let me know what extra needs to be added. Also the driver diskette is the one marked in bold above using the dd option in the isolinux.cfg Thanks, Prasad. Quote:
