Re: Enigma stuck at 2.4.9?

[Steven Bradley <steven sgb dyndns org>]

I've got a problem that needs me to install the 2.4.9-13 kernel.  The
problem is the "chicken and the egg" syndrome.  Specifically, it appears
my existing SCSI driver (for 2740W) is not compatible with the new kernel.

I do not know how to link the SCSI driver for 2.4.9-13 into the initrd
file to allow it to access SCSI during boot, I believe the driver is the
aic7xxx driver.  The problem is I am booted under the earlier file, the
version it uses when initrd is made, it does so under the existing 
environment (ie old driver) and I get all kinds of errors when I reboot
and try to use the new kernel.

I have FTPd the source (and headers, docs, etc) down, do I need to make
a custom kernel with SCSI support integrated instead of as a loadable
module?  What is the kernel-BOOT-* rpm for?
