Hi,
I have been combing the net for some help on kickstarting with an e1000
card for redhat 7.3:
What I did was follow the instructions at
http://sysadmin.cs.caltech.edu/docs/help/Linux/make_custom_boot_disk
to create a bootnet.img file that I could use to only do intel cards
using the 2.4.18-3BOOT modules. I got the e1000.o for the initrd.img and
hence bootnet.img from the drvnet.img file.
The problem is that when i do that, I get an error on alt-f3 during
kickstart that says something about tainting the kernel with a BSD
license, and then:
failed to insert /tmp/e1000.o
As a result, the nfs / driver screen keeps alternating back and forth.
The machine has no floppy, and is an off the shelf Penguin Computing
rackmount that I do not want to touch the network hardware on.
Please suggest a way to get this machine to do an nfs kickstart with the
e1000 card.
BTW:

is now dead! is there a better link to Jason's help listed earlier in this list?
Thanks in advance,
Blair.
