Re: [Unattended] Adding NIC drivers to initrd

[Harm <mai...@we...>]

Hi Richard,

adding new drivers would be possible but they should be compiled against
the used kernel. Run 'uname -a' in a shell once you've booted unattended
to get the kernel version.
Could you be more specific on what drivers are needed regarding the DELL
servers?

It would be nice if the unattended devvers could give some walktrough
regarding the whole process of rebuilding the initial linux env. (you
could check what's in CVS, there must be something usefull in there)
