"copy_modules_dir<br>
copies an entire module directory from /lib/modules/KERNELVER-<br>
SION/ into the initramfs image.<br>
<br>
Example: copy_modules_dir kernel/drivers/ata"<br>
<br>
So you would create a hook script, as described in the manpage, and<br>
have that script do the above. Then you would use initramsfs-tools to<br>
build your new image.<br>
