You could try to unwrap the ramdisk and change the insmod parameters.. only way I can think of doing it..

No, the problem is I need the installer to use these kernel module
parameters. 

Basically, I start the kickstart install, the installer starts and then
loads the aic7xxx.o module and it freezes the system. I need the
installer to pass a module parameter to that module when it loads it.
How do I do this? I thought that maybe using the "dd" or "expert" kernel
parameter might work, since I could load the module with the parameters,
before the system tries to, but then it doesn't seem to do a kickstart
install anymore (could be another problem however).

Any thoughts?

Not sure I follow what you are looking for.. are you looking to add some
options to a kernel module at boot time?  You could do some stuff in
post to write to /etc/modules.conf and if it is module loaded via the
initrd, than just create a new initrd once you have the options in..

1) Can you use the kernel "expert" parameter along a kickstart install?
I was trying to use it on one machine so that I could pass some
parameters to the aic7xxx modules when it loads, but it seems to switch
it back to a normal install.

2) Is there a better way to pass a module that is inserted due to
probing some parameters? I need to set some to get the install to work
properly.


Thanks,
Sean
