No, the problem is I need the installer to use these kernel module parameters. Basically, I start the kickstart install, the installer starts and then loads the aic7xxx.o module and it freezes the system. I need the installer to pass a module parameter to that module when it loads it. How do I do this? I thought that maybe using the "dd" or "expert" kernel parameter might work, since I could load the module with the parameters, before the system tries to, but then it doesn't seem to do a kickstart install anymore (could be another problem however). Any thoughts? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sean P.

You could do some stuff in post to write to /etc/modules.conf and if it is module loaded via the initrd, than just create a new initrd once you have the options in..

I was trying to use it on one machine so that I could pass some parameters to the aic7xxx modules when it loads, but it seems to switch it back to a normal install. 2) Is there a better way to pass a module that is inserted due to probing some parameters? I need to set some to get the install to work properly. Thanks, Sean ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sean P.
