Yes, the initrd does include cciss.ko module (the module needed on the head
nod but not on this node) and does not include ahci.ko (the SATA module needed
on this node).
It looks like the imaging does not trigger an mkinitrd at the end of imaging.
The installed initrd is including the cciss.ko module which is strange as it
is useless.
I've overcom the problem using a script:
#!/bin/bash
MY_KERNEL_VERSION=2.6.18-194.32.1.el5
echo "Running /sbin/mkinitrd -v -f --fstab=/etc/fstab --allow-missing --
with=ahci /boot/initrd-${MY_KERNEL_VERSION}.img ${MY_KERNEL_VERSION}"
/sbin/mkinitrd -v -f --fstab=/etc/fstab --allow-missing --with=ahci
/boot/initrd-${MY_KERNEL_VERSION}.img ${MY_KERNEL_VERSION}
echo "end fixing initrd".
exit 0
Maybe the systremimager has no idea of my ATI SATA controler:
SATA controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 SATA Controller [AHCI mode]

Why should I build a kernel while the current one works?
Aside that I need official redhat/centos kernels so I can install proprietary
HP
rpm drivers for impi and such.

I'll do that ASAP.
Did you integrate the patch I supplied so intel ethernet IGB driver is
available in the kernel deploying the image?
(mail on the list on Thu Mar 3 15:51:57 2011)
As for the ahci.ko module, I think that the initrd is not rebuild because the
/usr/lib/systemconfig/Hardware/PCI/Table.pm is too old and thus the script
think there is not storage module to include in the initrd.
from http://www.mail-archive.com/sisuite-
[email protected]/msg01430.html I tryed to regenerate the Table.pm
file, unfortunately, despite my efforts I was unable to find pcitable2pm.pl
Can you update it to a more recent version?
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Olivier.
