[Lustre-discuss] modules missing during patched kernel install, RAID card not detected

I just ran the kernel-lustre...rpm on a fresh CentOS 5, x86_64 install, 
and it misses modules.

# rpm -ivh kernel-lustre-smp-2.6.18-92.1.17.el5_lustre.1.6.7.1.x86_64.rpm

When I installed CentOS on this host, it was via kickstart, and I had to 
add this line to get the RAID working:

driverdisk --source=http://......./files/3ware/3ware_9690_centos_5.2_64.img

So I'm assuming this patched lustre kernel doesn't support the 3ware 
9690SA RAID card natively and that's why it's missing these modules when 
I install the RPM.  Is that correct?  How can I get the patched kernel 
to recognize my RAID card?

Do I need to add the modules from my current kernel into the lustre 
kernel and/or make a new initrd?

Thanks for any help!
