Hi, I need to load a kernel on my system but I've got a raid device which needs a new driver added to initrd in order for it to be picked on bootup when the kernel loads. I've created the initrd by placing the module in a directory I created in the initrd filesystem under: "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/mydriver/mega.ko" My problem is that when the kernel boots I get an error similar to finding /dev/sda1 .... It then fails and drops me to a shell, which I gather is the initrd filesystem shell. Inside there if I issue the command modprobe mega.ko the system finds the raid card, I then exit the shell and the server boots up fine normally using the new kernel. My question is why does this happen? I've added the module entry to the modules.dep file in the initrd filesystem under: "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep" and running "modpobe -l" under teh initrd shell correctly shows this. I must be missing a step, can someone please help me fix this?
