Russell, Two choices:
1. If you are just using 'genimage -n foobar', the foobar will be search in the rootimage. that means you need to put the drivers to rootimage first if it was not there. 2. Using the driver rpm package. You need to get the rpm which includes the drivers first and follow this doc: https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=Using_Linux_Driver_Update_Disk#Driver_RPM_Package Thanks Best Regards ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wang Xiaopeng (王晓朋) IBM China System Technology Laboratory Tel: 86-10-82453455 Email: [email protected] Address: 28,ZhongGuanCun Software Park,No.8 Dong Bei Wang West Road, Haidian District Beijing P.R.China 100193 From: Russell Jones <[email protected]> To: [email protected], Date: 2013/05/14 22:16 Subject: Re: [xcat-user] Adding extra kernel modules Thanks! I have tried that, but have not been able to get it to work as intended. Where does xCAT look for the "replacement" drivers? If you specify, for example, "genimage -n foobar", where would one then place the foobar driver for xCAT to pick it up and place it in the image for you?

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 mlx_en virtio_net be2net Thanks Best Regards ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wang Xiaopeng (王晓朋) IBM China System Technology Laboratory Tel: 86-10-82453455 Email: [email protected] Address: 28,ZhongGuanCun Software Park,No.8 Dong Bei Wang West Road, Haidian District Beijing P.R.China 100193 Inactive hide details for Russell Jones ---2013/05/13 23:28:16---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.

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
