I cannot get the FAI kernel to install on an IBM Blade server because
the install kernel does not include these modules loaded in the kernel:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR (SCSI CD-ROM)
CONFIG_TIGON3 (Tigon 3 ethernet card)
As I understand what is going on (or actually NOT going on :-), the
kernel panics when it cannot get the ethernet driver loaded, so the NFS
mount fails. In the same manner booting from the FAI-CD image fails
because the kernel cannot find the CD-ROM device.
I was going to make a kernel, but then realized I did not know where the
complete source for the kernel was (I assume there is one to handle the
extra parameters).
In any case I need some pointers how to over come this - either making
my own kernel or passing the right parameters at boot time or whatever
it takes. The IBM Blades are the last data type I have to overwhelm
before I can use FAI to bring up the entire cluster. TIA
