I understood what you said.
Please understand that when people make a homelab it’s essentially to learn.
What I’ve learned is that when you need an extra driver to install xcp-ng, this case have been covered but:
Quite an unpleasant learning experience.

@nhurion Trying to add the new host to existing pool, the host is not compatible.
Is it possible to downgrade 8.3 to 8.2.1 ?
Well the 8.3 is installed now, so I will give it a try.
But are you telling me it is not possible to install the 8.2.1 with 226 drivers at all ?
Because then I don't get the backporting that this thread is referring to.
What is the point of backporting if it cannot be used ?
@Andrew
Yes, installing from 8.3-apha2 does work.
Now if there is an option to load an additional driver, I guess there is a way to get that driver added.
How do I do that ?
@Andrew
Thanks, I know this is an option.
However, I already have 2 hosts with 8.2.1 that I do not want to upgrade yet.
And even if I install another iso, I would still like to know how to be able to load a driver or add a driver to an existing iso.
Hi,
I'm new to xcp-ng and coming back to linux after about a 20 years break (so my knowledge is either very recent, or very old).
I have a new fanless computer with intel i226 chips, I'm trying to install xcp-ng on it but I can't find out how.
I have the 8.2.1 iso on a bootable usb, already used it to install on 2 older hosts.
I have downloaded the rpm and added it to the Packages directory but the installer refuses to go because I have no ethernet cards.
So I guess I need to somehow add the driver with the F9 menu on the first screen, but I have no clue how. When I try it say that no drivers were detected.
I've also tried extracting the ko file from the rpm and put it on the usb, but it is not automatically loaded and not detected by the F9 menu, so I guess it's in wrong location
Is there a guide somewhere on how to do that ?
