Hi Mitch: The module need to be loaded on the client you run si_prepareclient inorder for this to work - so I suggest you try modprobing it and re-running si_prepareclient to "generate" the kernel/ramdisk and go from there.

Is this the boel kernel that needs the module in question? If so, I can build it and include it on the ramdisk. I guess what I'm not clear on is which kernel needs the module and where it's loaded in this boot sequence. I watch the boot messages and it seems /dev/sda is missing, even though it's my UYOK being booted which should have the drivers built in. Perhaps I'm missing something basic and fundamental here.
