Ok, here is a short description how to add the OC modules to our installer.

- mount the initrd.img it over loopback:

  mkdir initrd
  mount -t ext2 -o loop initrd.img initrd

copy the OCO modules in the lib directory of the initrd:

  cp lcs*o qdio.o qeth.o initrd/lib   # Make sure that you copy the 
                                      # 2.4.5 OCO modules !

umount the loppback initrd:

  umount initrd

you need to load the dasd_eckd_mod module as well.

  insmod dasd_eckd_mod
