I think you're having the same problem I am.

There is a chicken/egg problem here.  I think your driver is getting installed as a 
loadable module.  But you need the driver to either get compiled in to the kernel, or 
as part of the initrd (the initial glob of drivers that lilo/grub puts into a RAMDISK 
for the kernel to access - saves you having to rebuild the kernel).  At least, this is 
how you fix a normal system.

I am still hoping someone can help me figure out how to do the same with Oscar...
