FAQ
Hi,


I have a PCIe storage device. My driver registers this device as a
block device in linux. My block device is working fine under linux.


Following are the steps which I used for Centos installation on my
storage device:


1) During Centos installation time and before scanning of my storage
device, I loaded the driver from command line(By pressing Ctrl + Alt + F2)
from USB disk.
2) Post loading of drivers, the installation proceeded successfully on
my storage device.




Query:


1) How to add my driver as part of installed initrd image at the
installation time itself.[because root file system also installed on same
device]




Waiting for positive reply




Thanks & Regards,
Sateesh

    Hello, what device is this? There may be drivers for it in Elrepo.
    Alternatively "dracut" is responsible for rebuilding the initramfs, see
    also /etc/dracut.conf.
