Your best process here is to grab the existing initrd, push your modules into that, and repack it. You should not need to do much more beyond add the right pciid's and the modules to the right place, depmod it so the modules info is updated and repack. give it a shot, I'll help you along if you get stuck. once you are done, will you write up the process for us ? - KB _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
