Hi,


I have a new LSI MegaRAID card which is not recognized by the Debian 6.0 squeeze installer so I thought I would modify the initrd.gz installation image which gets loaded at PXE boot in order to include my self-compiled latest version of that module (megaraid_sas.ko). I unpacked then the initrd.gz using cpio and looked at its /modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/kernel/drivers/scsi to notice that it's all empty. I conclude here that the SCSI card drivers are not located in the initrd.gz image.

Do you know where and how I can get my version of megaraid_sas.ko module driver loaded at installation time instead of the default one?

Cheers,
ML
