# ls
2.4.9-e.40BOOT
# ls 2.4.9-e.40BOOT/{tg3.o,e1000.o}
tg3.o e1000.o
9. Remove device drivers that will not be utilized from the driver modules extracted to the first module
directory in step #7. Since the BladeCenter HS20 and BladeCenter HS40 servers do not support
3Com 3c59x, Intel 10/100, AMD PCnet32 or USB-OHCI devices, it is safe to remove the associated
device drivers to free much needed space in the image.
# cd modules-boot
# cd 2.4.9-e.40BOOT/
# ls 2.4.9-e.40BOOT/
3c59x.o hid.o lockd.o scsi_mod.o usb-ohci.o vfat.o
eepro100.o input.o nfs.o sunrpc.o usb-storage.o
fat.o keybdev.o pcnet32.o usbcore.o usb-uhci.o
# rm 3c59x.o eepro100.o pcnet32.o usb-ohci.o
# ls
fat.o input.o lockd.o scsi_mod.o usbcore.o usb-uhci.o
hid.o keybdev.o nfs.o sunrpc.o usb-storage.o vfat.o
10. Copy the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Adapter and Intel Gigabit Ethernet Adapter drivers
from the second module directory (drvnet.img modules) module archive to the first module directory.
# cp ../../modules-drv/2.4.9-e.40BOOT/{tg3.o,e1000.o} .
# ls
e1000.o hid.o keybdev.o nfs.o sunrpc.o usbcore.o
usb-uhci.o fat.o input.o lockd.o scsi_mod.o tg3.o usb-
storage.o vfat.o
# cd ..
11. Recreate the modules archive from the first modules directory (modules-boot).
# ls
2.4.9-e.40BOOT
# find . -type f | grep -v modules.cpio | cpio -o -H crc > modules.cpio
1481 blocks
# ls
2.4.9-e.40BOOT modules.cpio
# gzip -9 modules.cpio
# ls
2.4.9-e.40BOOT modules.cpio.gz
# mv modules.cpio.gz modules.cgz
12. Copy the required driver disk files from the initrd.img image to the modules-boot directory.
# cp ../mnt/initrd/modules/{module-info,modules.dep,pcitable} .
# ls
2.4.9-e.40BOOT modules.cgz module-info modules.dep pcitable
13. Remove driver entries from the initrd.img pcitable file that are associated with the device drivers
removed in step #9. Remove all lines that make reference to the removed device drivers (3c59x,
eepro100, pcnet32, usb-ohci). For example:
0x10b7 0x4500 "3c59x" "3Com Corporation|3c450 Cyclone/unknown"
0x8086 0x1030 "eepro100" "Intel Corp.|82559 InBusiness 10/100"
0x1022 0x2001 "pcnet32" "Advanced Micro Devices"
# cat pcitable | grep –v 3c59x | grep –v eepro100 | grep –v pcnet32 >
pcitable.new
