I've got a RAID card (3ware 9650SE-2LP) that wasn't supported by the in-kernel driver until 2.6.19+
Since CentOS 5.0 is based on 2.6.18-8.el5 is was looking for a way to incorporate their driver from the website so I wouldn't have to use the "linux dd" kernel option all the time. (trying to automate as much as possible using kickstart, scripts, etc).
Through reading about other OSes I've found that the most common way to do this would be to modify the stage2.img file on the boot DVD and add the driver to the boot kernel image. The problem is, I can't mount the stage2.img file using cramfs.
# mount -o loop -t cramfs stage2.img /mnt mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so
Any suggestions? or should I try going about this another way?
