I'm on Redhat based systems
There are 2 issues here are you trying to replace the boot kernel....
If yes then the kernel is squashfs filesystem which you may have to
edit by putting the necessary librarys.
If all you want to do is replace the kernel that is currently being loaded then
you can add in the
%post section of your install
/usr/src/kernel/linux-2.6.x files (incase u want to tinker with the
kernel later this is not recq)
/lib/modules/2.6.x (this is what is recq)
/boot/initrd-2.6.x.img (this is to boot)
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23 (this is to boot)
/boot/System.map-2.6.x (this is to boot)
Run a
sed -i against /mnt/sysimage/boot/grub/grub.conf
to insert your new kernel
ie
this has to be inserted as the first boot kernel.
title Fedora Core (2.6.x)
root (hd0,0) # verify what this is on one system
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.x ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.x.img
. and your done.
do all this on a http install and start your systems with a pxeboot ....
dd to about 10 systems will take a hell of a lot of time and thats the
reason a ks file can be used and created.
