Hi Mitch: One trick I use with machines with differing network modules is to run modprobe on the missing module on the client prior to running si_prepareclient, this way, the ramdisk thus generated via UYOK will also include the module. This is not guranteed to work with storage adapters (since the kernel may refuse to load the driver because the hardware doesn't exist), but it's worth a shot.
I suppose it is also possible to manually modify the ramdisk and add whatever modules you need, it's just a gzipped ext2 filesystem AFAIK - you can mount it via the loopback.

(3.7.x, bootcd, IBM e326 H/W, XFS filesystems, RH 3) The monolithic kernels and images are identical because the SATA drives instantiate as /dev/sda at the filesystem layer, the same as the SCSI drives. The only thing that differentiates the two running systems is the drivers talking to the physical HD. One uses LSI Logic MPT and the other uses libata or a variant. Is there a way to make a boot cd which doesn't care and can be used with either hardware configuration? I've tried the SATA CD in the SCSI system and it can't find /dev/sda. Is this possible or do I need separate images and separate CDs for each HD? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
