Typically, for module insertion into the ramdisk you have to edit these three files found inside the ramdisk: /modules/pci-table (needs the appropriate hardware identification lines) /modules/module-info (needs an entry for e1000) /modules/modules.cgz (in here of course is another set of paths, and you need to insert the compiled e1000.o file in the appropriate path for your kernel version) I ran into some interesting situations where the installation still did not properly identify the device without user intervention. It's also important that the driver is compiled against the correct kernel/source. Note that the installation images use red hat's special boot kernel. Sometimes you can get away with just getting this step "close" but not always. hope this helps a little. cody
