Autoinstall 3ware-Supplied 3w-9xxx Module?
Howdy, all. I'm brand new to SuSE (specifically using SLES9 + SP3). I'm trying to create an autoinstall script for some custom SLES9+SP3 installation CDs. The problem I'm having is that the 3ware-supplied module is on a floppy disk and not in a packaged form. As I'm just learning how YAST2 and SuSE installation servers and such work, I haven't yet been able to figure out how to roll in the vendor-supplied driver to the "installation tree". Can anyone tell me how this is done? It looks like the module comes with a pre-install script, and I can't figure out where in the "installation tree" i need to place the script, either. Is it possible to create custom installation CDs that have 3rd party modules on them? I'm trying to put this together for a client who is very keen to keep using SLES9, otherwise I'd have them upgrade. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

you can put a driverupdate file on the CD. That's an image of a directory structure: http://suse.osuosl.org/people/hvogel/Update-Media-HOWTO/Update-Media-HOWTO.h... See Chapter 3 there. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
