If they are scsi drivers, just do mkinitrd: mkinitrd -v -f /path/to/initrd.img `uname -r`
If you you are trying to load some other kind of driver do: mkinitrd -v -f /path/to/initrd.img --with=<module name> `uname -r` -Steve -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 8:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: How do I remove a module from the kernel Thx Dave..I guess that worked...Now the kernel is loading without this driver...
