Hello

I have an ASUS P4C800 Deluxe motherboard with an onboard Promise
FastTrak 378 SATA raid controller using 2 120GB Seagate V HDD in raid 0
configuration. I also have Hyper-Threading enabled. Red Hat Linux 9 was
successfully installed.

Now I want to upgrade my kernel using latest RPM provided by Red Hat but
I need to load a module (my SATA raid controller, ft3xx.o) that is not
in the kernel on system startup.

So I copied ft3xx.o (compiled using kernel-source-2.4.20-18.9) in
/lib/modules/2.4.20-18.9/kernel/drivers/scsi/ and in
/lib/modules/2.4.20-18.9smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/.

Then I ran '/sbin/mkinitrd -f --preload scsi_mod --preload sd_mod --with
ft3xx /boot/initrd-2.4.20-18.9.img 2.4.20-18.9' and '/sbin/mkinitrd -f
--preload scsi_mod --preload sd_mod --with ft3xx
/boot/initrd-2.4.20-18.9smp.img 2.4.20-18.9smp'.

When I reboot the system loads ft3xx.o correctly for kernel 2.4.20-18.9
but when I boot using 2.4.20-18.9smp kernel it says that ft3xx.o was
compiled using another kernel (2.4.20-18.9).

I want my system to load the module anyway, how can I force it?

Thank you for your help

Optimized
