What are these errors about could not load kernel module at install time?
andI need to load a kernel module at install time, eg a SCSI module.
This method works for PXE but not floppy disk boots. If PXE is not an option then you can use an iso and cdrom to do something similar.Please see the lcfg boot iso for details on how to use a CD.
If a floppy is your only option you will have to start building your own kernels with the drivers you need.
The aim here is to have a kernel that you boot via PXE that has the matching kernel modules in the LCFG LiveOS so they can be loaded correctly.
Packages metioned here can be downloaded from the EDG external repository.
Download the packages kernel-lcfg-boot-2.4.20-20.7.edg2.i386.rpm and kernel-lcfg-boot-pxelinux-2.4.20-20.7.edg2.i386.rpm to your LCFGng server.
Install the first one in your live OS. i.e.
rpm -ivh --root /opt/local/linux/nginstallroot/7.3 kernel-lcfg-boot-2.4.20-20.7.edg2.i386.rpm
This package contains a set of kernel modules.
The second one should be installed on the LCFG server in the normal way.
rpm -ivh kernel-lcfg-boot-pxelinux-2.4.20-20.7.edg2.i386.rpm
This drops the corresponding kernel in the /tftpboot area for PXE booting. This kernel can now be selected from the web interface in the usual way.
This should give matching kernel modules for the PXE booted kernel.
