megaraid_sas kernel module missing from ISO:/initrd.gz -- how to tell installer to load it?



Hey all,
     I'm trying to install a version of a minimal debian-based ISO on an Dell R610 with PERC6/i raid controller, but the installer stops when it tries to partition the disk with this msg:

[!!] Partition disks
No root file system
No root file system is defined.
Please correct this from the partitioning menu.

The ISO:/initrd.gz does not contain the megaraid_sas.ko:

dude@cafe:~/ISOs/loop> gunzip -c initrd.gz | cpio -tv|egrep megaraid_sas
85920 blocks
dude@cafe:~/ISOs/loop>

On a non-DELL system the kernel module comes with the system:

user@debian:~$ dpkg -S /lib/modules/4.4.52-1-amd64-hpelinux/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas.ko
linux-image-4.4.52-1-amd64-hpelinux: /lib/modules/4.4.52-1-amd64-hpelinux/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas.ko

Is there any "easier way" to tell the installer to load it without having to tear apart the ISO, add it to initrd.gz, and rebuild the ISO? 

Thanks
