The outline is fairly simple. Find a machine that is running the same kernel that the CentOS installer is using. Install the kernel-devel (or in the case of CentOS 3, you probably need the kernel-sources), make the module, put the module on a floppy disk and insmod the module before trying to install. http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2005-August/010021.html provides the longer view with a link to the original concept but mind you, these are for CentOS 4 Craig
