We are planning to encorporate this in to the next gen installer we are currently working on. I don't know exactly how the ITU works, but I imagine since it happens prior to the installation process it has to load the drivers in memory and attach the specific devices. And, make sure that these drivers really get installed on the media at the appropriate time. So... the process of invoking the ITU service is specific, and would require some changes to jumpstart to enable this.
However, maybe this ITU functionality could be mimicked in a jumpstart begin script. You would need to load the drivers, get them attached, and then you could read the devices you have loaded them for. The finish script could be written to install them on the media. sarah **** > I currently have 2 problems : > > 1) when I boot a x86 server using grub with the "install" kernel option, > I do not go through the following menu that allow (with choice #5) to load a > ITU driver diskette : > > 1.
