a question about suse initrd


hi
i have a question about suse initrd.
I want to install SuSE by PXE,but it can't identify SCSI HDD when it boots from PXE.
AS we known,we can press F5 so it can update driver when SuSE CD1 boots.But how can I update the SCSI HDD driver by PXE?Can I add any parameter in initrd.img or any ways?Cuz I can update driver by dd in Redhat.
The PXE config file content is as below:

LABEL ES4QU1-64bit
KERNEL ES4QU1-64bit/vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=ES4QU1-64bit/initrd.img dd ramdisk=20000

LABEL SUSE9
KERNEL SUSE9SP2/linux
APPEND initrd=SUSE9SP2-32bit/initrd

Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately I don't know a way to do what you're wanting, but I would point out that giving people 6 hours to respond isn't exactly very polite. Your post will be refreshed on the new post list 3 times I think automatically, so there's no reason to bump it like that, especially after such a short space of time.

You can add the driver to initrd:

mkinitrd -m <module>

It should be found at reboot. However to replace the driver by a new version you need to recompile the driver first.
