Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL5) driver disk images missing modules.alias

[Kirsher, Jeffrey T]

After building driver disk images for the e1000 driver on RHEL 5, the
disk images are not being recognized as valid driver disk images because
the file modules.alias is missing from the disk image.

 

This may be related to Bugzilla entry 195899.

The driver disk format changed after Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.  The
pcitable file is no longer used, and a modules.alias file is required.
But you must have both on the driver disk image to have the driver disk
image loaded correctly during an install.
