genkernel modules

Is there a way to make genkernel or any other way to a modules for a scsi device load before it mounts the hard drives. I'm trying to compile aacraid as a modules and have the system boot off of that. The reason I'm doing this is because the adaptec storage manager is complaining about the driver not compiled as a module.

I think you're going to have to put it in the kernel if you want to boot from it.

I also had to compile those SCSI raid-drivers in kernel to boot from the drive.
I've readed from somewhere that it's possible to have some initrd which is loading those modules, but I don't remember where it was (maybe some news/posting list ?)
