[opensuse] [solved] Add driver to initrd for pxe-boot

I was on the wrong track... putting broadcom into the kernel (not into initrd)
finally did the trick!
In detail:
when the pxe client stopped in linuxrc because of the network error, I fetched /proc/config.gz.
This file contains the configuration for the pxe kernel.
After that, I installed OpenSUSE12.1 from DVD on the computer, and compiled a kernel with
make bzImage and the configuration from the client.
With this kernel image and the old initrd, the client was now able to do the autoinstallation!
Thanks,
Markus

I tried mkinitrd before. It doesn't work with pxe because the
installation routines are in pxe initrd. The tutorials I found on the
internet all unpacked, modified and repacked initrd.
But the format of openSUSE 12.1 pxe initrd seems special:
etc/depmod.d and modprobe.d aren't covered in the
tutorials I found. Nevertheless I messed around with them, too.
No success.
I also tried bootparam keeppxe, didn't work neither.
What i'll try next:
-compile the kernel with the /proc/config.gz from the
pxe environment
- or put all the needed modules into /modules/..., not just only
broadcom and do the depmod thing again...
Any other suggestions are welcome!
Thanks, Markus

I asked Uwe Gansert, the author of autoyast, and he told me
that broadcom.ko needs to be in the initrd. But how do i get
broadcom.ko into initrd?
For a normal system you would add the needed modules to INITRD_MODULES
in /etc/sysconfig/kernel and call mkinitrd to create the new initrd.
See 'man 8 mkinitrd' for the options mkinitrd supports.
