Know what sucks about getting to use some of the latest and greatest? Installing.

We just got a Dual Xeon 2.8Ghz w/ 2GB RAM (533Mhz bus) with a mpt scsi/raid card (scsi320).

Mandrake has the driver, except in the BOOT kernel for install.

Any idea the hell it is to rebuild a stage1 of mandrake with a kernel that has mpt drivers? I do. (Not to mention the hacks one must do on stage2)

After finally getting 9.0 installed (5 hours later), I noted that there is much less scsi drivers built for the BOOT kernel then other kernels. Why is this? Can't stage2 just have every kernel module built for completeness? What the hell is the point of including the mpt drivers in all the other kernels except the install kernel?

Is there an easier way? (I sure hope I just did it the wrong/hard way)

Is this fixed in mdk9.1?
