| lborda | cjwatson, guys, Hi I was wondering if there is a way of loading OEMDRV drivers through preseed without using the USB method. looking at the hw-detect specifically the driver-injection-disk.sh it does not seem to support such method. | 15:54 |
|---|---|---|
| cjwatson | doesn't seem so | 15:55 |
| cjwatson | well, I mean, you can do anything with preseeding, but it would involve writing a script that does the same kinds of things that driver-injection-disk does | 15:55 |
| lborda | cjwatson, where should the drivers go during the install ? /var/cache/firmware ? I am looking specifically to solve this question: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-certification/+question/214703 | 15:57 |
| lborda | but not using a usb key | 15:57 |
| cjwatson | /var/cache/firmware/ is if you want the .debs in question to be copied to the target | 15:58 |
| cjwatson | udpkg --unpack to install them into the installer environment | 15:58 |
| cjwatson | you'd basically want to mimic the install_driver_pkg function, which is simple enough | 15:58 |
| lborda | cjwatson, thanks I will take a look at it... | 15:59 |
| lborda | cjwatson, it looks like an interesting feature to be added to the hw-detect pkg | 16:00 |
| lborda | cjwatson, and be able to specify through a d-i option | 16:00 |
| xnox | lborda: alternative to usb key, i thought one can build/fetch drop custom bits into a known location during d-i run, thus could be preseeded with early script to do wget the right udebs/debs into known location. OEMDRV doesn't do much, but copy the udebs & debs into known locations. | 16:12 |
| lborda | xnox, yeah that would be neat. actually according to the driver-injectin-disk code we could preseed in the early command and drop the files into $dir/*.deb $dir/*.udeb $dir/*.udeb into /var/cache/firmware | 16:16 |
| lborda | xnox, will this also make debian-installer aware of the drivers and load the modules ? | 16:17 |
| lborda | xnox, ie: disk drivers | 16:17 |
| xnox | lborda: it should, but check that it works, it may need another "anna" preseed to fetch/use driver-inject-disk udeb and depending on the release also will need a preseed to enable-use driver-inject-disk. | 16:20 |
| xnox | lborda: well there is no "disk", but to hit the codepath where udebs are enable drivers for the installer, and debs are installed into target to boot later. | 16:21 |
| xnox | s/are enable/are installed to enable/ | 16:21 |
