The following options are available to install or update kernel drivers in the boot image: 1. Install a Red Hat driver update disk (.img file) into the boot image. 2.Install a driver module (.o file) into the boot image. 3. None of the above, leave unchanged. Enter your selection [3] :
Some hardware vendors provide drivers in a floppy image file. Use the first option to install these drivers. This option installs both the kernel driver module and any related hardware identification information that is contained in the image.
To update an existing kernel driver module, choose the second option. Do not use this option to add new driver modules. It loads the driver module only and not the hardware identification information that is required to associate a new driver with the corresponding hardware.
