Yes, since you want / on the RAID, you need the module in initrd, and I see someone else showed you how to add it. I don't know how to cause the module to load during startup; it may not take any further action. The docs for the module source should tell you; if not perhaps the manufacturer's web site or a newsgroup can help. If you believe you'll be compiling your own kernel at some point, download the kernel-source package for the kernel you'd like to use. Make a symlink "linux" pointing to it. Copy /boot/config-2.4.<whatever> to /usr/src/linux/.config and do "make oldconfig && make dep". Then compile your module. It will need to live in a subdirectory of /lib/modules/2.4.<whatever>/, but I'm not sure where. The documentation for the module source may tell you, or it may be copied where it needs to go by an installation routine. Once it's where it needs to be, do "update-modules". If you are sure you won't be compiling kernels, you can save some space by downloading kernel-headers-2.4.<whatever> to match your installed kernel. This will also save you from doing the config stuff. Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
