What's wrong with building your stage4 with catalyst and have it include |
| 18 |
a kernel ? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
We use catalyst to generate all our install images and catalyst uses |
| 21 |
genkernel internally to include it in the image. Just specify which |
| 22 |
kernel you'd like and provide a .config for it. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
We've installed 1300 servers that way, I'll personally guarantee you |
| 25 |
that it works :-D |
