This is all new land for me, so bear with me if the answer is trivial.

I have patched kernel 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 (actually sata_mv.c) to support my sta
disk controller. It works correctly, I can attach my disks make directories and
store data on them and even retrieve the data. So from that perspective
everything is fine.

The next thing I want to do is to boot from the disks and create my system on
them. That means as far as I can see that anaconda must use the patched kernel.
Is there a way to load this kernel during start of anaconda or can I create a
new install dvd with the kernel added?

Can someone help me with this?


yum install pungi or revisor, point them to the repository you create (and that contains the customized kernel), and run the tools.

FWIW, the customized kernel's NEVRA (name, epoch, version, release, architecture) will need to be higher then the one from the kernel available from upstream.

FWIW^2, could you log a bug against the kernel and attach the patch you applied (if you haven't already)?

Kind regards,
