> Is there a possibility to discover the hardware automagically? grml-terminalserver of grml 0.9 uses another approach. I rewrote the NIC handling stuff. So nowadays we don't use discover anymore but instead use automatic driver probing/loading. See /usr/share/grml-terminalserver/linuxrc - online available at: http://hg.grml.org/grml-terminalserver/file/62a523889b2a/linuxrc and /usr/sbin/grml-terminalserver-config - online available at: http://hg.grml.org/grml-terminalserver/file/62a523889b2a/grml-terminalserver-config line 184ff. So AFAICS all you would have to do is use grml 0.9 and create a symlink to the r1000 module: # ln -s /lib/modules/2.6.18-grml/misc/r1000.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-grml/kernel/drivers/net/r1000.k and (re-)create the initrd image afterwards. Or incorporate the few lines of NIC handling code into your own image. If you have any enhancements on the initrd/linuxrc/terminalserver you think might be useful for mainline grml please feel free to submit them. JFTR: I built and uploaded grml-kerneladdons-2.6.18_0.5_i386.deb to the grml-repos (grml-testing) which includes the above symlink as well. regards, -mika- -- You like grml?
