You have three options.... 1. You must recompile the driver not to be a module. This is your best choice..
2. If not, then your going to have to build a initrd. I guess gentoo has a buildkernel script that does this and works pretty good. But I have never used it,,, yet.. :) 3. The only way you can get around this is have a root partition on ide and load the modules up for the rest of the drives.. I am sure there are others but it gets kinda wacky.. :) Either option is good, 1 would be the easiest since you just have to get into kernel config and change it from module to internal. 3 is just silly but it will work.. I have done it before when a drive I had on a old computer wouldn't boot right and didn't want to have a floppy in it all the time. I don't like throwing drives out when they work.. :) Jeff > -----Original Message----- > From: Bruce E.
