Hi,
I have an HP 8530w laptop. I need ti instal it under CentOS 5.2 x86_64 - kernel 2.6.18-92.
The network card is not recognized. I have add the driver e1000e-0.5.11.2 (dowload from Intel site). After compiled and installed the driver, all work fine!
But I need to make a network installation and the Intel network card should be recognized before.
I found the following script on the net and try it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ wget http://my_web_server/CentOS/5.2/x86_64/images/diskboot.img cp diskboot.img diskboot.orig.img
mkdir diskboot_mnt mount -o loop diskboot.img diskboot_mnt
mkdir initrd_extracted cd initrd_extracted gunzip < ../diskboot_mnt/initrd.img | cpio -i --make-directories
cd .. mkdir modules_extracted cd modules_extracted gunzip < ../initrd_extracted/modules/modules.cgz | cpio -i --make-directories
cd 2.6.18-92.el5/x86_64 rm e1000e.ko wget http://my_web_server/e1000e.ko
# Now put humpty back together again cd ../../ find . -print |cpio -o -Hnewc | gzip -c9 > ../modules.cgz cd .. cp -fp --no-preserve=all modules.cgz initrd_extracted/modules/
cd initrd_extracted find . -print |cpio -o -Hnewc | gzip -c9 > ../initrd.img cd ..
cp -fp initrd.img diskboot_mnt/
# cleanup umount diskboot_mnt rm -rf diskboot_mnt/ initrd_extracted/ initrd.img modules.cgz modules_extracted/
mv diskboot.img diskboot.mod.img
dd if=diskboot.mod.img of=/dev/sdb
------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------------
After trying to start on a USB key, the network card is not recognized again :-(
Something is missing ... how to add this network driver for starting a network installation ? Anybody do this before ?
Best Regards (and sorry for my poor english)
