kickstart install on proliant 1600
I am trying to do a kickstart install over nfs on proliant 1600. For some reason it's not finding the tlan driver? Any idea? FYI, it's redhat73. Thanks.

Re: kickstart install on proliant 1600
If its Intel or bay networks, I know from personal experience that these will be detected by redhat and work in this mode.
Did the NIC card ever work?
Are the link lights lit?
Can you try a cd based install and see if it effect the situation?

01:07.0 Network controller: Compaq Computer Corporation ProLiant Integrated Netelligent 10/100 (rev 10)
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 5
I/O ports at 2800 [size=16]
Memory at c6cfddf0 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16]
Expansion ROM at
any idea, why kickstart does not detect the lan card? I know it's just a matter of forcing to load this driver (tlan.o), but how I do it in kickstart? BTW, I used the CDROM (first CD of rh73) to do the kickstart install. Any idea on how to get it to install with current NIC card? Thanks.

If you can upgrade, I believe you will find better driver support with RH8 or 9.
If you have PXE support on your Proliant, you can set up a PXE boot server and use that to specify a fully configured initrd.img (like the one the CD install uses).
If you have to do a CD-based kickstart, you need to just through many hoops to get it working:
To make a new 7.3 kickstrart CD with tlan support:
1) mount the bootnet.img file:
mount -o loop bootnet.img /mnt/image
2) Uncompress the initrd.img file
zcat /mnt/image/initrd.img > /tmp/initrd.img.uncompressed
3) Mount the uncompresed initrd.img
mount -o loop /tmp/initrd.img.uncompressed /mnt/initrd
4) Remove unneeded modules from modules.cgz and add your tlan driver.
zcat /mnt/initrd/modules/modules.cgz > /tmp/modules.cpio
cpio -iv < /tmp/modules.cpio
cp /path/to/tlan/driver /tmp/2.4.18-3BOOT/
cd /tmp/2.4.18-3BOOT/
find . -print | cpio -o > /tmp/modules.cpio.new
gzip /tmp/modules/cpio.nre
mv /tmp/modules/cpio.new.gz /mnt/initrd/modules/modules.cgz

Re: kickstart install on proliant 1600
With the floppy, you write your image to disk using dd; with the CD, you create an ISO image and use something like cdrecord to burn it to a blank CD.
Either way, it is a lot of work to set up.
How many of these boxes do you have, and do they support PXE booting?
