9 Using an initrd works fine for me, you probably just forgot to put udev
10 in it.
11
12 My initrd basicly looks like this:
13 /dev/console
14 /dev/null
15 /bin/busybox
16 /bin/udevd
17 /lib/udev/firmware.sh
18 /lib/udev/udev.conf
19 /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules
20 /firmware/ql2200_fw.bin
21 /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep
22 /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla2xxx.ko
23 /linuxrc
24
25 The script I used to create it is available @
26 http://porno-bullen.de/~bluebird/initrd-qla2xxx/ but don't blame me if
27 it doesn't work ;)
