I thought when doing a manual install that any manually loaded block 
device modules get compiled in to the kernel so that the devices are 
available for booting, e.g. SCSI controllers, CDROM drivers, etc.

I just tried a manual installation of 9.1 Pro and loaded i2o_core, 
i2o_block and i2o_config manually so that the installer could access my 
hard drives.  The drives were seen and accessed just fine and the 
installation routine proceeded OK until the first reboot.

At that point, the i2o drivers were not loaded, so grub couldn't find 
what it was looking for and a kernel panic set in.

How do I specify during an install that these i2o modules be compiled 
into the kernel?

Thanks,
Mark
