PXE booting CENTOS 6 on Atheros Atl1e using Driver Update Disk
-
Download pschaff’s driver disk from elrepo, select architecture that match your installer. <br >
http://www.elrepo.org/people/pschaff/dud/
-
the file you’ve downloaded should end with ‘.gz’. Uncompress that file. <br >
gunzip DUP_el6_i686_20120402.iso.gz
-
Create a temp folder. <br >
mkdir initrd_update
-
make a copy of that uncompressed file to the folder you have made <br >
cp DUP_el6_i686_20120402.iso initrd_update/dd.img
-
enter that folder <br >
cd initrd_update
-
run the ff. command <br >
find . | cpio --quiet -o -H newc | gzip -9 > ./initrd_update.img
-
copy initrd_update.img to your pxe installation folder as dd.iso
-
modify your centos pxe kernel like this. <br >
APPEND ksdevice=eth0 initrd=el6-kickstart/initrd.img,el6-kickstart/dd.img
-
that’s should be it. once pxe downloaded initrd.img and dd.img the drive update disk will be automatically be applied.
