I need the 3w-xxxx.o SCSI RAID controller module to access the harddrive
where my root filesystem is on so using /etc/modules won't work.
With "the list of modules that automatically get loaded" I meant the
/loadmodules (or so) file that I found inside the initrd image from the
official Debian kernel. The image contained a /lib/modules directory with
both 3w-9xxx.ko and 3w-xxxx.ko but in this file only the first was listed.
Or is there at least a kernel boot option which I could use to load this
module before "/" is tried to mount? The module exists in the initrd.img
nevertheless... (that would be enough for me as I remember that the
kernel was a Sarge one and so has very little chance to get updated)

The 9xxx cards are SATA RAID controller, they have a different module
(3w-9xxx.o).
