to install current PC models (with new Intel NICs) via Kickstart/PXE, I wanted to add the newest e1000e-Treiber to initrd.img. With this modified image, the Kickstart kernel crashes with the following error messages:
Maybe you need to increase the memory allocated to ramdisk? by default I use ramdisk_size=16384 as a kernel parameter for booting the installer.
with ramdisk_size=16384 the error message is:
[...] md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE. RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 RAMDISK: incomplete write (-28 != 32768) 16777216 VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(253,3) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(253,3)
There is probably an exact way to determine a valid ramdisk_size, buth which? :-}
