| Machine : P-IV
| OS : Redhat 9(kernel-2.4.20-28.9)

| 
|  1. make mrproper
|  2. make xconfig
|  3. make modules
|  4. make modules_install
|  5. make install

| Error for the command "make install" :

| No module aic7xxx found for kernel 2.6.2
| mkinitrd failed

|    But the module file called aic7xxx.ko is present in the directory at

| 
|   I have checked the upper version of the following software is at my

|     I think it is the problem for module extention (.ko). 
| 
|     Please send a suitable solution for the above as early as possible. 

Please use a current version of mkinitrd.  They know about
.ko (yes, that is the problem).

Perhaps that list above should include 'mkinitrd' and version number...
