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

insmod dasd_eckd_mod
