How do I inject drivers into a Linux image?
Hello,
I need to inject drivers into a linuxpe image with Fedora 10, I've followed the instructions bellow:
I don't know how to do step 10, not even the linux admins at my company know how to do it.Resolution
1.This must be done from a Linux or similar operating system.
2.From Linux, map a drive to the ldmain share on the Core Server.
mount -t smbfs -o username=User1,password=P@sswd,workgroup=Domain //CoreServer/ldmain /mnt
3.Now change to the vboot directory
cd /mnt/landesk/vboot
4.Backup the current ldlinux.img.
cp ldlinux.img ldlinux.img.original
5.Copy ldlinux.img to the linux file system.
cp ldlinux.img /tmp
6.Change to the /tmp directory
cd /tmp
7.The ldlinux.img is actually gzipped. Unzip it:
mv ldlinux.img ldlinux.img.gz
gunzip ldlinux.img.gz
Note: This will extact the gzipped file and remove the .gz extension leaving the file named ldlinux.img.
8.Make a directory called /ldlinux and mount the image to it.
mkdir /ldlinux
mount -o loop ldlinux.img /ldlinux
9.Change to the /ldlinux directory.
cd /ldlinux
10.Make any changes to the image, including addition of drivers, addition of files, or modification of files. A Linux administrator may be required to perform these tasks.
11.Exit the ldlinux directory and go back to the /tmp directory.
cd /tmp
12.Unmount the image. Note: If you did not change to /tmp this command will fail.
umount /ldlinux
13.Zip the image.
gzip ldlinux.img
Note: This will add the .gz extension leaving the file named ldlinux.img.gz.
14.Rename the file to ldlinux.img.
mv ldlinux.img.gz ldlinux.img
15.Copy the newly modified image back to the core.
cp ldlinux.img /mnt/landesk/vboot/ldlinux.img
16.Deploy to a single PXE Representative and test. Only when it is tested to be working, should you then deploy to all PXE Representatives.
Please Help ...Thanks.
