Adding driverdisk to Compute Node in ROCKS

This should be usefull for us. We can install compute node which required some driver disk. Just grab it from ROCKS mailing-list.


if you can PXE boot your compute nodes, then on your frontend, try:

# cd /home/install
# mkdir driverdisk
# cp /home/install/driverdisk/dd.img

# vi /tftpboot/pxelinux/pxelinux.cfg/default

change the line:

append ks initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=150000 lang= devfs=nomount headless pxe kssendmac selinux=0

to:

append ks initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=150000 lang= devfs=nomount headless pxe kssendmac selinux=0 driverdisk=http://10.1.1.1/install/driverdisk/dd.img
