Hi all,

I load the ft3xx module in my startup initrd, to enable me to continue
booting from my Promise Fasttrak 376 SATA RAID controller.  This worked
great with the bf24 install, which created an initrd in
/boot/initrd.debinstall, which I have used with every subequent kernel
that I've compiled.

However, I've just uplevelled to 2.4.22, and the ft3xx driver reports:
scsi1: device driver called scsi_done() for a synchronous reset
then hangs.  I assume that this is because the driver needs recompiling
for 2.4.22 (rather than 2.4.18).

I can build the module against the new kernel headers, but how the hell
do I get it into an initrd?  I have looked at the mkinitrd and
mkinitrd.conf man pages to no avail.  All I could find was:
MODULES
The legal values are all, most and none. All modules are included on the
image if it is set to all. Setting it to most will cause mkinitrd(8) to
exclude modules which are considered unlikely to be necessary in the
process of bringing up a root file system. Setting it to none will cause
mkinitrd(8) to not include any modules, even if modules were specified
in /etc/mkinitrd/modules.

That's fine, but my module isn't li /lib, so how can I tell it where to
find the module?
