Re: How to add self-compiled kernel module in debian installation
Well I am also starting to develop some kind of love/hate relationship with these RAID cards...
Unfortunately, the link doesn't help much and I am still trying to figure out where these RAID card modules are loaded from during the installation...
I thought adding a new RAID card module to the installation would be as "easy" as adding a closed-source firmware network adapter module such as bnx2... but it looks like this is not the case.
Best,
ML

I have an special interest when it comes to hardware RAID controllers
(I've developed a love-hate relationship with them).

Mmm... then maybe you can add the kernel module to the ISO before you
burn the image into a CD/DVD :-?

For this I can't tell. I know the initrd can be tweaked for preseeding
but to include a kernel module, I don't know.
Check if this helps:
