Deactivate kernel-modules during installation (noprobe)
Hi Is there a way to specify that some device-drivers should not be loaded during installation? Specifically, when installing a file-server with autoyast, it would be very nice if autoyast was able to reformat the internal disks, but leave the external RAIDs alone. Sometimes the external RAID-devices show up before the internal ones, and since the number of disks available on the RAIDs may change over time it's a bit scary to use a autoyast-file that uses disk 14 or whatever. On Red Hat this problem is solved by deactivating the FC-drivers during installation with the "noprobe" option. Is there a option for doing this with autoyast too? Or is there another way to solve this problem? -- Ragnar Kjørstad Software Engineer Scali - http://www.scali.com High Performance Clustering
