Bug#264787: debian-installer: Problem to load of the external modules.

[Frederic MASSOT <frederic@juliana-multimedia.com>]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal

Hi,

I must install a server with a 3Ware SATA RAID Controller 9500s-4lp,
the driver source code for this controller is provided by 3Ware on their
Web site.

I compiled the module on another PC (kernel 2.6.7), and I want to
load it at the beginning of the installation.

I copied the module "3w-9xxx.ko" from a diskette.

At the time of the installation, I execute a Shell, and to mount the diskette.

I tried to insert the module :
# insmod 3w-9xxx.ko
insmod: error inserting '3w-9xxx.ko': -1 Invalid module format

Can you compile the kernel 2.6 with the support of:
- CONFIG_IKCONFIG
- CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC
To know the features include in the kernel
- CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
To load of the modules compiled on another PC

And, at the time of the procedure of installation to allow to
load a module from a diskette (as with the installer of the woody).


Best regards.
