I've retrofitted a stripped down RH7.3 install with the current cciss driver
(for SmartArray 641 support) and have an image which installs really well
EXCEPT that after the reboot the kernel's not able to load / and sits with
the info:

mount: error 6 mounting ext3
pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2
Freeing unused kernel memory: 144k freed
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel
Now, I'm guessing that if I had the cciss.o sitting right next to the ext3.o
and the jbd.o there might be a chance that the kernel would load the
module, right?
[root@host hp]# strings
/lib/modules/2.4.20-29.7.progeny.3v0/kernel/drivers/block/cciss.o | \
grep description=
description=Driver for HP SA5xxx SA6xxx Controllers version 2.4.50-1
[root@host hp]#
This is the right version and such, so the right driver for the
2.4.20-29.7.progeny.3v0 kernel is there. The grub.conf looks totally legit
as well with / being defined as: /dev/cciss/c0d0p3.
What do I need to add to the post in my kickstart script to ensure the
cciss.o driver gets loaded after the OS is installed?
While I'm on that topic, the eepro100 doesn't load either unless 'alias eth0
eepro100' is added to the modules.conf.
Are these two problems related?
Thanks for any tips/leads/pointers, etc.
