Comments on: Updating RedHat/CentOS Kickstart with new drivers http://www.ruizs.org/archives/49 The ramblings of Steve-0 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 18:31:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Patrick http://www.ruizs.org/archives/49/comment-page-1#comment-291 Patrick Sat, 11 Apr 2009 05:11:34 +0000 http://www.ruizs.org/archives/49#comment-291 Thanks for the writeup, I was just looking into how to update the 3ware driver for the 9650SE RAID CARD in RHEL 5.2 (x86_64) so I'm glad I came across your page. I performed the kickstart driver disk install using your instructions and the install went fine. However, when I checked the driver version, it's still the same version as the default 3ware driver RHEL 5.2 comes with: [root@new-host-3 ~]# cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/stats 3w-9xxx Driver version: 2.26.02.008 According to 3ware, the driver version should be 2.26.08.004. The only place my method differs from yours is I used http as the source my my driverdisk in the kickstart file: driverdisk --source=http://192.168.0.119/3waredriverdisk.img Anaconda didn't give any errors during the kickstart install, I did not see any errors in the anaconda.log either. Any ideas? Thanks for the writeup, I was just looking into how to update the 3ware driver for the 9650SE RAID CARD in RHEL 5.2 (x86_64) so I’m glad I came across your page.
