[rhelv6-list] [rhelv5-list] How to force anaconda to add extra driver into initrd?

[Musayev, Ilya]

2 routes:

route 1:
you could specify multiple initrds during boot/pxe sequence, for example, you can have the default initrd.gz file and then another initrd.gz "like" file that contains extra modules for scsi controller - i assume it needs to follow the same layout as original initrd file. so create a dir /lib/ with modules.cgz etc..

route 2: 
edit existing initrd and inject you modules - (compiled on the same kernel) - i'm under assumption you can inject as many as you like - only necesserary modules will be used - though i think anaconda takes a liberal "load all" approach.

good luck
ilya

How to force anaconda to add extra driver into initrd?

I want to add extra scsi driver such as cciss, mpt2sas into the initrd while
installing the system.
