Hello Frank Thank you for your answer. Just some more questions. What is the exact name of this file? Where do I have to put it? I only found a module.config file in /modules of the unpacked initrd, but this doesn't seem to be the file you are talking about.
No, I'm talking about the "configuration file" that feeds information to linuxrc. Look at chapter 7.3.1 from the Autoyast Doku for SuSE 9.0. This file is named "info" and you can put it on a floppy if you boot from a normal cdrom e.g., or if you plan to install everything via network, e.g. using pxe like we do it, you can put it into the intird that will be transfered with pxe. We use a pxelinux.cfg (see chapter 5 of the docu) with label linux kernel vmlinuz.install append initrd=initrd rw ramdisk_size=65536 apm=power-off and for the "initrd" in the tftpboot directory, we unpacked the initrd from the SuSE CD and put out own "info" file into the root of the initrd before packing it again. The info file looks like this: # Initial Info file to boot over network. ###################################################### # general stuff Language: de_DE Display: color Keytable: us ############################################### # which network device do we use? Netdevice: eth0 ############################################### # where do we install from install: nfs://<our ip hidde>/rpm-export/i586/9.0/SuSE/ autoyast: nfs://<our ip hidden>/rpm-export/autoyast/9.0/ ############################################### # remote control VNC: 1 VNCPassword: <whatever we use there ;-)> ############################################### # which modules do we need # SCSI Controllers insmod scsi_mod insmod sd_mod insmod aic7xxx insmod aic79xx insmod gdth insmod qla1280 # IBM serveRaid-Controller for xSeries insmod ips # network controller at last so that link stays up until # the bootp request is made. insmod 3c90x insmod e1000 insmod bcm5700 # insmod bcm5700 line_speed=100 auto_speed=0 full_duplex=1 # END FILE Have fun :-) cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
