Thanks!

I was speaking more towards adding drivers to a stateless image, for example an updated tg3 nic driver.

You can of course just unpack the initrd, manually add the .ko file in, and repack it, however I was wondering if there is a better supported way to have xcat automate this piece.

Refer to the doc here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=XCAT_pLinux_Clusters#Installing_a_new_Kernel_in_the_stateless_image

It describes how to installed a specific Linux kernel.
 
Thanks

Subject: [xcat-user] Adding extra kernel modules





Hi all,

What is the proper "xcat-supported" way of adding extra kernel modules
into a stateless Linux image? I have found some fairly old docs stating
to copy them to /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/$OS, list them in the
genimage "-n" option, and xcat will pick it up and copy it into the
image/initrd for you, but I have been unsuccessful in getting that to
work with my 2.6 setup.
