Injecting drivers into the ESXI installer
This article describes how to inject drivers into the VMware ESXi 4.1 installer. Itβs written by Ernst Cozijnsen, he already published a great article regarding Deploying VMware ESXi 4.1 in the enterprise. All you need is a Fedora core 13 32 bit virtual machine which can be downloaded from http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/ . This website contains many ready to run virtual appliances with all kinds of open source operating systems.
The following part will show you how to:
- Extracting the driver from driver cd/dvd/floppy/tape/ls120/zip/jazz
- Extracting sys.vgz ESXi installer ramdrive
- Moving the driver(s) into place
- Compressing the newly build sys.vgz structure
- Inserting driver package in the imagedd.bz2 file
