Thanks for the download...got it.  why is your file 7m when the kernel 
module I compiled for i386 is only 57k?

Also, are you saying that I must compile the driver into the kernel?
This means I first have to be able to install to a single drive on the 
system first, right??

If this is the case, this gets me back to my other problem which is the 
6.0-RELEASE installer won't find my single hard drive (either EIDE or 
SATA) which I have directly connected to the tyan i7520 mobo ;-( ...I 
have posted this problem as a seperate discussion in paralle with this one.

thanks, ke han
