One option is to unpack the initrd that gets built by mkinitrd, add the required modules, modify the init script to reflect your changes, then pack it back up replacing the faulty initrd. I never tried this so I don't know if there is anything else done by mkinitrd that would be required. You could try it and see what happens. -- C. Linus Hicks <lhicks@xxxxxxxxx>
