For the kernel drivers, just use the genimage -n nodenetdrivers is enough.

But one think you need to know that if you specifying the -n, it means
replacing the default driver list instead of appending. That means you'd
better add the default ones in the -n with your specific drivers.

The default drivers for rh x86_64 is: tg3 bnx2 bnx2x e1000 e1000e igb

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.

      It describes how to installed a specific Linux kernel.

      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.
