Bug 97164

Description of problem:
With Red Hat 9 changing the boot disks, I've had to modify the bootdisk.img to 
allow for network drivers. Simple enough tear down the initrd.img and 
modules.cgz then put it all back together after adding the drivers and 
updating pcitable, module-info and modules.dep.

 Ok so I boot with 'linux ks=floppy'. With the following line in the ks.cfg, 
the installer bombes out. 

device eth 3c59x

However if I remove the line, then I get prompted to select the driver and the 
install continues on and works fine.

 Not sure what else I can provide. Here's the contents of ks.cfg.

How reproducible: 
Every Time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Rebuild initrd.img to include your network driver and update the pcitable, 
modules.dep, and module-info
2. add 'device eth 3c59x' or whatever you driver is to ks.cfg
3. watch it crash when it attempts to load drivers
        
Actual results:
Installer exits abnormally with signal 11 received.


Expected results:
Load the driver and continue the install

Additional info:
This is a show stopper for me and I know a lot of other people. What good is a 
kickstart function if you can't automate with net drivers?

 Please let me know what else I should provide.
