# 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-
usb-uhci.o fat.o		input.o	lockd.o	scsi_mod.o	tg3.o
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 Corporation3c450 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
