James, If none of the other's advise works for you then let me know. I am running the exact same stuff as you are and I have the steps necessary for installing the module (for either raid boot or ide-boot w/ raid mount, etc.) and updating it to the latest kernel using yast without breaking your system since it is not a supported module in 9.1. -----Original Message----- From: James D.

I added a 3Ware 9000 controller and I can insert the module (3x-9xxx) and access the file system, but after a reboot the module is not reloaded. I have an entry in /etc/sysconfig/kernel as shown below; # This variable contains the list of modules to be added to the initial # ramdisk by calling the script "mk_initrd" # (like drivers for scsi-controllers, for lvm or reiserfs) # INITRD_MODULES="sata_sil jbd ext3 3w-9xxx" ...however the module still doesn't load after a reboot. Does anyone know how to have new modules load in the 2.6 kernel? Many thanks in advance.
