It should automatically load the module providing it is on the image. It
could be the autoload is failing for some reason or the driver is broken,
or its not on the boot image.

Unfortunately the one person who really knew it and looked after it
(Leonard Zubkoff) died in an accident some years ago. It no longer really
gets much attention as it's little used and IBM who bought Mylex who
produced it have long dropped it too.

In fact I think you are the first reference I've seen to it in use for a
couple of years !

Probably the best strategy is to investigate using a live image and see
what "dmesg" shows and what occurs if you try and load it. That may give
the info needed for someone to get it going.
