Hi,
I've to install SLES11SP3 on some newer DELL hardware (R730, R330). Problem: the module for the perc controller is to old, so the system won't see a, hard disk. I patched the initrd with a newer kernel module - installation works fine. The problem is now the installed kernel-rpm does not contain the new driver and the system will not boot.
So what is the best way to add this additional rpm before the system is booting the first time, but after installing the kernel ?
Sorry, I missed something: For the installation I created a couple of repositories containing all rpm and all updates for packages. For this node I need the installation kernel (3.0.76-0.11) with the megaraid_sas.rpm. Can I force the system to install all updates, but keep the kernel at the old version (we are using other software, which is only supported running THIS kernel) ? -- Bye, Peer ________________________________________________________ Max-Planck-Institut für Biogeochemie Dr. Peer-Joachim Koch Hans-Knöll Str.10 Telefon: ++49 3641 57-6705 D-07745 Jena Telefax: ++49 3641 57-7705
