We did this with SuSE during the Domino residency last year and I thought
we did this with Red Hat too, but don't see it documented in the redbook
(SG24-7021).  It is documented for SuSE on p 125 that you have to add the
module to /etc/sysconfig/kernel and run mkinitrd.

RHEL-3 does not seem to read from /etc/sysconfig/kernel and the syntax for
mkinitrd is different from SuSE's. I believe you could go to /boot, back
up your good initrd and do something like:

mkinitrd --preload jbd  --preload ext3 --preload dasd_diag_mod
initrd-2.4.21-4.EL.img `uname -r`

Then if you create the vdisk swap using SWAPGEN with the (DIAG option and
set up the swap space in fstab, I believe Linux will pick up the right
module. I am unable to test fully at this time.

Hope this helps.
