Re: [Xen-users] Include ThirdLevel Driver into Xen Kernel

[Cem Koker <ckoker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

I got the exact same problem with Areca Raid controler.
All you have to do is to include the driver's in the initrd so that it 
loads at boot.
do the following :

depmod -a
mkinitramfs (or mkinitrd, depending on your system) -o 
/boot/initrd.img-2.6.16.29-xen 2.6.16.29
(of course change the kernel name & versions to fit your installation)
then add the following line in grub :

module /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16.29-xen
after the vmlinuz line.

Tell me if it works,

Regards,
