The adapter is detected during the install and the appropriate modules
are added to a rebuilt initrd image.  The problem comes when you
swap controllers or move the drive to a different machine or clone
the disk for a not-quite-matching machine.  It would be nice if the
CD rescue mode offered to rebuild the initrd automatically for you
after such a change, but it isn't impossible to do it by hand.
