Without the module in the kernel, there's not a whole lot mkinitrd can do :-)
Comment 3 Mike McLean 2003-10-27 18:40:31 UTC 
but installs work on this box.
Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2003-10-27 19:35:34 UTC 
What module do installs use?
Comment 5 Mike McLean 2003-11-03 22:17:01 UTC 
This machine has three scsi controllers: two adaptecs (aic7xxx) and
one qlogic (qla2200).  The qlogic doesn't actually have any drives
attached.
