Hi,

I added the latest 3w-9xxx.ko modul that I compiled from the 3ware
sources against the SLES10-SP1 installer kernel to a driverupdate,
because I need support for the 3ware SAS controller.

Now it happens that the AY installed loads the 3w-9xxx modul, but
doesn't find a controller. Then later it removes it and loads it
again and then finds the controller (I got this from the /var/log/boot.msg
and the output on tty3.

I specified "insmod=3w-9xxx" in the pxelinux.cfg because I want this
controller to be recognized as first scsi device (for its raid to
become sda).

It seems that AY first loads the old modul from the initrd, then 
detects the other controllers, and after that reloads the 3ware
module from the driverupdate.

Is that the intended way? Do I have to put the module into the initrd
to make it load before all others?

cu,
Frank
