Convey uses a highly modified CentOS kernel to work with our attach coprocessor. Currently to setup a system for delivery we do a cold install using a "stock" CentOS cold install using kickstart. During that cold install we lay down our modified kernel and reboot the system with that kernel. After the reboot we are able to access the coprocessor management processor and down load updated firmware then reboot the system to have a completed install.
My goal is to be able to boot a "modified" kernel on the cold install step so we can download the firmware updates and eliminate the second boot.
I have tried using using the bzImage generated from the modified kernel build but that kernel fails to be able to load the kickstart file :-(
I have done searches trying to find the .config file used to build the kernel booted during cold install but have had no luck.
I am guessing I have either have too much or too little included in the kernel. I tried to make sure everything I thought was needed were not modules but included in the kernel.
Does anyone have any suggestions? --- Tom Murphy Platform Support Convey Computer 1-866-338-1768 tmurphy@conveycomputer.com Support Site: http://conveysupport.com/ Support Ticket : http://rt.conveysupport.com/
