updating network driver in initrd
| i have a new desktop(dell 790) and it is not getting the network connection while installing via kickstart. I downloaded network drivers from Intel site(for intel network gigabit 82579LM). I compiled the package and placed it in initrd file. Now when im booting using the new initrd file, it is throwing errors like: ------------ no network devices in choose network device no network drivers for doing kickstart ------------ and hence the installation is failing to get the kickstart from network. I have done the below steps in creating new initrd: --------------------- 1. compiled the driver on another machine running same kernel 2. copied the e1000e.ko file and update to initrd/modules.cgz(using gunzip and cpio) 3. changed the entry in modules-info file 4. added below line to pci.ids: 1029 82579 Gigabit Ethernet Controller 5. created the initrd file and copied it to isolinux 6. created iso using the isolinux Could someone please point where im missing? thank you |
