I've had to fight with Debian's initrds for 2.4 openMosix kernels (for the 3w-9xxx modules...) I wrote a shell script that mounts the cramfs image, makes an ext2 filesystem in an 8MB file, mounts it, cp -a, and fixes some things up. You might do the same thing (manually). > Has anyone had similar > experiences?

I think Linux knows not to load a module when it's already compiled in.

SATA/usb mass storage conflict
I have tried installing the amd64 port and I was able to install and configure the base system once but after this it times out when checking the partitions on the drive ( i.e. /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/etc. p1 p2 etc.) on reboot. I've also tried rerunning the installer and it times out at loading sd_mod. After much frustration I gave up on the installer and tried the installer from fedora core 2 for amd64 thinking I might be able to try with a different kernel and it was freezing when loading the usb mass storage drivers ( I have a usb flash reader installed instead of a floppy). Disabling usb allows me to boot the fedora core installer but still not the debian installer ( hanging at sd_mod) and of course the initrd image on the hd is loading the usb mass storage drivers and failing with the same time out as before. Is there a simple way to remove the drivers for usbms from the initrd image while using the fc rescue disk? Has anyone had similar experiences? I'm assuming the sata drives and the usb drives are fighting over /dev/sda, if I were to create a kernel image with the sata drivers compiled in statically and the usbms loaded as a module later do people think it will still conflict?
