[opensuse-autoinstall] Passing module parameters via pxelinux?
Hi,
SLES 11 SP3 has a problem in the hpsa module not supporting the P410i
controller found e.g. on HP ProLion ML350 G6. Novell suggest passing
the hpsa_allow_any module parameter:
http://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7014067
I fail to do that in AY. We boot via PXE and I load the needed modules
for the raid controllers e.g. with "insmod=hpsa" in te pxelinux.cfg file.
But I didn't find a way to pass the hpsa_allow_any parameter here.
Is it possible somehow? Putting hpsa_allow_any as normal kernel parameter
(just "hpsa_allow_any") did not work, neither did "hpsa_allow_any=1"
right after the insmod=hpsa.
I tried putting
<init>
I found "brokenmodules=cciss" but it didn't help either because hpsa seems to be loaded during the automatic hardware scan before the info or xml file are read, thus ignoring the hpsa_allow_any option :-( -- Dipl.-Inform.

Try "hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1". -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.3°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner@opensuse.org

Great, that worked: insmod="hpda hpas_allow_any=1" Thanks a lot! -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.

My solution worked only for starting autoyast, but when AY tried to transfer the paramters used for PXE to menu.lst it failed on the quotes. Thus, only your solution works and one should use ...insmod=hpsa hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1 ... in the pxelinux.cfg file. This will work for AY and for booting afer AY. Thanks again! cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
