Comments/Problems:

The installer does not properly detect an INI-A100U2W SCSI card. It  
incorrectly identifies the module to be loaded as the "initio" module  
when it should really use the "a100u2w" module for this particular  
card. (All other Initio cards use the other module.)  Although the  
module can be loaded through the shell manually, the installer doesn't  
build it into the initrd image and the system will never boot up.
