Inserting network driver into initrd.img

[Puc, Bernard]

Hi,

    I am trying to insert a network driver into the installation disk of RH3
Enterprise.  Here's what I did:

1-Copied contents of CD1 to local workspace.
2-Unpacked ./isolinux/initrd.img and mounted it.
3-I edited ./modules/module-info to add the new driver entry
4-I edited pcitable to add entries for the device
5-I unpacked modules.cgz, extracted the 2.4.21-4.ELBOOT directory, copied my
driver into it (2.4.21-4ELBOOT/i386).
6-Repackaged the modules file, compressed it, and copied it to modules.cgz.
7-Unmounted initrd.img.un
8-Zipped it up and replaced the old initrd.img with the new version.
9-Burn a new CD with the contents of the workspace directories, make it
bootable by using the ./images/bootdisk.img.

The problem is that once I boot from the new disk and try to run an install
from an nfs volume, I get the following error:

ASSERT: no network device in chooseNetworkInterface
No network drivers for doing kickstart


So how can I get the installation to recognize the network device and use
the new driver that I've provided?  Any tips or suggestions much
appreciated!
