[elrepo] FW: kernel module for ServeRaid 7k (IBM/adaptec) [SOLVED]

[Akemi Yagi]

Hi Dave,

I'm happy to learn things went well for you.

We have a script for creating DUD iso images here:

https://github.com/elrepo/elrepo-scripts/blob/master/mkdd.sh

Just place a kmod binary rpm and its source rpm in a directory and run:

(path to)/mkdd.sh *.x86_64.rpm
