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

Hello! Thanks to the following e-mail I was able to perform an installation of Oracle Linux 8 on an IBM old server with ServeRaid 7k.
After many difficulties (non bootable USB flash, bootable on other computers, using Rufus, Unetbootin, etc, than it booted ??), I was able to boot a OL 8.3 network installation image. Then, I selected the network repository for the latest (8.7) Oracle Linux and installed.
I can not thank these guys enough.
After browsing through EL7 repo, I’ve even found a “dd-cciss” which I believe will work on an older HP DL380 G4 with smartarray 6i!
Out of curiosity, is there any documentation to understand the process of creating a diver such as this one?
Thank you so much once again!
Please let me know if there is a place where I can write some good words about this project 😉
Kind regards.
Dave

You can download this one:

Hi Dave,
The following DUD iso file is currently syncing to the mirror sites:
dd-ips-7.12.05-1.el8_7.elrepo.iso
It's in the elrepo/dud/el8/x86_64/ directory. Please test if you can install EL 8.7 using this image.
