RH9 and missing proper e1000 network drivers

[Wolak, Piotr]

Hello,

I have a IBM x345 server which I want to kickstart with RH9 and do
installation over HTTP/FTP. Unfortunately, the proper network drivers are
not included on the original RH9 installation CD. I found a document which
describes how to update the drivers and create a custom CD here
http://www.puschitz.com/Kickstart.shtml but I can't use it in my case.

My server will be using a public FTP/HTTP server for the installation data.
I can modify the drivers on the CD (like update the kernel to 2.4.20-31.9 -
the proper network drivers included) and make a custom CD but can't I update
the stage2.img file which is on the public server.

Do you know how can I build a driver under the standard RH9 BOOT kernel and
transport it to a floppy and select it during the installation phase?

I wish I could't go with Fedora but I can't at this time.

Thanks for your help and best regards,
Piotr
