Hi All,
I have a marvel chipset for my wired laptop connection. It uses the kmod-sk98lin-10.93.3.3-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm driver at elrepo.
I would like to use this driver to activate the wired connection to kickstart my laptop as I have pxe booting set upon my home network.
Could anyone please enlighten me as to how to get the drivers/firmware from this package loaded on my laqptop so I can use kickstart to load the OS, please?
Add a local apache/httpd powered repo to your kickstart:
repo --name="sk98 repo" --baseurl="http://myrepo/CentOS/6/x86_64/kmod-sk98lin-10.93.3.3-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm"
'myrepo' is the pxe/kickstart server hostname and the kmod-sk98lin rpm driver has been copied to /var/www/html/CentOS/6/x86_64.
Make sure httpd is running # service httpd start
Run createrepo: # cd /var/www/html/CentOS/6/x86_64/ # createrepo -v -d .
Fire up laptop and kickstart it.
Regards, Patrick
Thank you Patrick,
I am pxe booting off the marvel card and in order to be able to do what you suggest, I think I need the driver to be installed to get the kickstart file first. Otherwise, how would the installer get it?
