[Oscar-users] SystemImager and Broadcom Tigon3 NIC

[Jess Cannata]

I have two Opteron test computers with RedHat 9.0 (32-bit mode) on them 
and I am trying to install Oscar 2.3. I can create the images, but when 
I network boot the node to load the image, the node networks boots but 
when it loads the small boot image passed to it by PXE it can't load the 
network drivers (the motherboard has Broadcom Tigon3 Gigabit NICs). When 
it tries to load tg3.o version 1.2, Nov 14, 2002 (the Broadcom drivers) 
it says:

tg3: Problem fetching invariants of chip; aborting.

I know that there is a newer tg3.o driver because I have it 
installed--and working--on the master node. What I haven't been able to 
figure out is how to create an new initrd.img that resides in /tftpboot 
that has the new tg3 driver included. I've also created a boot floppy, 
but the the initrd.img appears to tbe the exact same as the image in 
/tftpboot and it gives the same error. Is it possible to make a new 
initrd.img with support for new NIC drivers? I've searched the 
Systemimager documentation, but I haven't found my answer. Does anyone 
know how to "easily" do this?

Thanks.
