Kernel Modules

[Bucky Goldstein]

You have to generate a new ramdisk (initrd.gz) with the new modules by
issuing
a command like "mkintrd --preload module-name initrd-2.2.xx.img 2.2.xx"

(this assumes you built ramdisk support into your kernel, you can find
out by looking into your /boot/config-2.2.xx file)

and edit lilo.conf with something like

initrd="/boot/initrd-2.2.xx.gz" 
append="load_ramdisk=1 ramdisk_size=2880"

(change the above to reflect your system and remove the quotes) 

to reflect the change and run lilo...

or

Build loop back support, scsi device support, scsi disk support and your
particular low-level scsi driver support into the kernel.
