Hi all.

I just bought a few machines that need to be installed from the
network. The problem is that the initrd for PXE that is included in
the CDs doesn't include a driver for my network card. So, I compiled a
fresh new kernel and tried to build an initrd.

However, mkinitrd as it is now, only includes modules listed under
scsi_hostadapter on /etc/modprobe.conf. How can I create an initrd
that includes *all* scsi_hostadapter modules and *all* network devices
modules?

Thanks alot.
