Ok, I'm making some progress. I forgot to turn on Joliet support when I created the ISO. Once I did that, I could manually load the necessary device driver from the CD. What command-line option do I pass to linuxrc to have it check the cd for the updated drivers? If I pass dd, it checks the diskette, but doesn't seem to check the cd. -----Original Message----- From: Steffen Winterfeldt [mailto:snwint@suse.de] Sent: Friday, April 29, 2005 8:37 AM To: Stephens, Bill {PBSG} Cc: suse-autoinstall@suse.com Subject: RE: [suse-autoinstall] Update boot cd with new driver On Fri, 29 Apr 2005, Stephens, Bill {PBSG} wrote:

That's what I thought, I'm guessing I'm not putting the modules in the right place. I've tried copying the 01 and 02 directories to the root directory on the cd and the boot directory on the CD. Do I just need the modules, or do I need to put the directories somewhere else?

Placing them into the root of the CD is basically correct. linuxrc will look at the CD for driver updates only if it has to access the CD for other purposes anyway (say, if it installs from CD). If you need to update a network driver to do a network installation, this does unfortunately not work. In this case the only way is to put the new modules into the initrd and, in case the new driver doesn't get loaded automatically (you'd probably have to update /lib/modules/*/modules.pcimap for that), add it to the autoload section in modules.config (or use insmod=foo on the command line).
