Thanks. I get the error
link_stat
/usr/share/systemimager/boot/i386/standard/initrd_template/.
: No such
file or directory
None of the rpms contain this directory. I assume I
have to install the
src.rpm and build the server first? I thought the
idea was to run this
on the golden client.

x86. I built
3.5.3 and it really didn't take that long. But here is
my
problem, and excuse me if it's "stupid simple" but I can't figure
out
how to add the modules I want and repackage them like the flavors
under
/usr/share/systemimager/boot/i386/. The drivers I have are
not in the
kernel tree. So if this were for a standalone server i'd
build them,
copy them over to
/lib/modules/<kernel_ver>/kernel/drivers/scsi and
make the
initrd.img with mkinitrd.
I can't figure out how to do this with the
systemimager kernel build
process, and the server I am on doesn't have
these cards in it either
which I think usually helps the process (for
me anyway).
I have tried to unpack the initrd and add it there, but on my
system I
can't seem to mount them, and get unexpected end of archive if
i gunzip
and cpio them.

Otherwise, UseYourOwnKernel may be your best bet.
I need 3x-9xxx and
mv_sata.

I
really do appreciate the help, and would be glad if you wanted to
add
these, but I'd like to figure out how to do this myself. I'd be
happy
to wiki it for non-experts once done
:)
thanks
