For support for a concrete driver you can ask the System Imager team so they add it for future releases.
Although making a huge kernel with most possible drivers compiled I think it can not be much reliable. In my case the driver needed was only found in kernel 2.6 series and thats why I got the unstable system imager source code.. it has a kernel 2.6 and a default config in the path I mentioned.. I modified that config.. compiled the kernel and compile the initrd. I suggest you try it.. I have been trying other ways and this is the fastest, easier I found. Good luck. 2005/11/22, Charles Galpin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On Nov 22, 2005, at 11:16 AM, ezra resnedan wrote: > > Well, what I finally did was in easy steps. > > > > Scenario.
