You can create a driver update image, see ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/hvogel/Update-Media-HOWTO/Update- Media-HOWTO.html
This way you can also avoid changing the initrd.

Hello List,
I have the Problem that the bcm5721 network chip is not supported out
of
the box by SLES 8. I can install SLES 8 with a patched initrd, but after the reboot the default kernel 2.4.18-138 is activ and it doesn't know anything about that chip.
How do I change the network driver after the installation and before
Hi Anas,
thanks for the pointer. It makes some points much clearer and easier to
solve.
So how do I include a nosmp and a smp driver module in a driver update?
This is important because during install a standard kernel is used and the
installer selects a smp kernel and installs it. I need network Connection
after installation absolutly.
Do it think it is useful to recreate the installation initrd with smp
modules for use with a smp kernel to have the same kernel during and after
installation?
Thanks in advance
Thomas
