Kickstart Configuration Inquiry

[Steven Jones]

If it is a standard module you can load it manually by calling it in the
ks.cfg.

Hello Again,

Hopefully one of the seasoned veterans here can help me with this minor
"issue" I am having with RHEL 3 ES...

The machine is an IBM xSeries 336, with a Broadcom GigE adapter.  The
adapter comes with SRPMS for the kernel module, and when installing
the OS from CD, I can install the module after the basic install is
finished. (also from CD.) 

But I am trying to setup a kickstart server, and a diskless install.
I have successfully followed the directions provided at redhat.com,
and I can boot through to the install routine.

However, the default boot environment can't see my NIC.  So I can boot
off of the network, but I am unable to load my install media.

The Redhat guide makes no mention of how to add modules to the network
boot image, and googling for the obvious keywords returned only a
passing
reference to the same.  

How do I do this?  I'm sure all I have to do is "borrow" a compiled
module from another (identical) system, and drop it in the "right"
place.  Problem is, no one seems to have clearly, publicly, documented
said place.  Maybe someone here knows? 

Also, as an afterthought, if you have a detailed reference for the
post-install scripting, please pass it along?  I'd like to script
as much of the post-kickstart config as possible, but am not quite sure
where to put the media I will be using. (like Veritas agent, JRE, IBM
Agents, etc.)  There seems to be a lot of information available for
older redhats though, so I should be able to hack it out...  If you're
only going to answer one part of this question, please help with the
first part instead! :)

Thanks in Advance,
-G
