Hi Folks,
I have a problem with SL4:
We got some new Opteron-Nodes and want to install them with SL4 with 
Quattor.
Unfortunately, the new boxes have a bcm network chip which needs the
bcm5700 kernel module to work. This module is not available in the 
installation initrd.img but we have the source-code for it.
How can I put this module into the initrd.img ?
Which version is the installation kernel?

Where can I get the sources and config file for the installation kernel?
How can I build an installation kernel and initrd which finds the 
correct root partition of the installation system?

Thank you.
cheers
Andreas
