build initrd for qla2xxx firmware

[Mark Haney]

Okay, I'm still unable to build a correct initrd to include the QLogic 
2300 FC card I have in a couple of machines.  I've tried several methods 
(from scripts to cracking open the existing initrd) and nothing seems to 
work.  The firmware IS on the system (via an RPM) and the qla2xxx module 
gets loaded, but I cannot get it to load on boot.  initrd complains 
about the firmware not being available.

Surely others out there have these cards in use still and keep there 
systems up to date, so what am I doing wrong?  Can someone walk me 
through this.  I have one system stuck at FC6 because the newer kernel 
don't include the firmware and I can't upgrade until I can get this 
resolved.

HELP!
