[rhelv6-list] Info on network install with 10Gbit/s

[Mertin, Joerg]

It is possible - I do it on occasions (I created some 20 Kickstart images myself in the last 2 years).
The dd command is only "added" to the current kickstart action and asks then for a driver disk before continuing the installation.
The only part where it fails is when the kernel gets updated and does not provide the driver :} There, you will have to reboot into the old kernel, get the new driver and install it manually for the new kernel release.

Yes, I was thinking abut it too, as the Intel ixgbe driver seems far ahead, at least in version....
Never tried to embed use of dd in automated install via kickstart, so I don't know if it is possible and how to do it...
Any tip welcome
