would it not be sufficient to install the kernel-source rpm , complie 
the module against it and then copy it to where it would sit in the 
kernel modules directory
ie /usr/kernel..xx../modules/scsi/ module
and then install the kernel this is what I have done with the ftxx 
module and it has been working , that way it gets loaded automatically
