NoStorage and Kickstart - How to Specify Multiple HBA Modules
When kickstarting, you have the option of using 'nostorage' on the PXE command line to prevent storage HBA drivers from loading -- you can do the same to NICs, but it's not as interesting, not as common and the command line is dumber.
So what if you want to use the same kickstart for different machines? For different HBAs ? Normally you're screwed. This won't work, either:
See that? NoStorage. Okay.default linux prompt 0 timeout 1 label linux kernel /images/centos55-x86_64/vmlinuz ipappend 2 append initrd=/images/centos55-x86_64/initrd.img ksdevice=eth0 lang= kssendmac nostorage text ks=http://archive/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/Bish-PXETest

Specifying the HBA drivers on multiple lines should work, but it's not that simple -- doing so makes it choose the first one and ignore every other invocation of the device line. This does work, though:device scsi ahci device scsi mptspi device scsi cciss
See the colons? There you go. It allows/forces you to choose the order, so plan carefully.device scsi ahci:mptspi:cciss
