Hi All,
I have run into a problem doing koan installs of SL6.2 on machines with
onboard igb nics.
The : 3.0.6-k version of the igb dirver intermittently drops the
connection, causing the koan installation to fail.

This problem was fixed in the 3.0.22 version of the igb driver.

Unfortunately, I can't upgrade to SL6.4 (long story).
So my plan is to replace the igb.ko.gz in images/pxeboot/initrd.img
with a 3.0.22 version.

My question is how to build a new igb driver which matches the installer
kernel in images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
Which kernel source should I use?
Where is the .config file?

Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this question. I have searched the
FAQs and HOWTOs on www.sceintificlinux.org
but not found anything relevant.

Thanks in advance for any pointers!
