How to update a SCSI module during Proxmox Installation ?

[sgi]

Hi,
For personal usage, i have an old server HP DL360g7 with the controller P410i.
I would like to install Proxmox with ZFS filesystem, so I have to enable the HBA mode.


We normaly can't enable the HBA mode with this controler, but after research, I managed to enable this mode.
But, the kernel has to be patched, exactly, the hpsa.ko module.
Otherwise, the system doesn't see the HDD.

I managed to compile a new version of hpsa.ko and when I boot on usb stick with Ubuntu 20.04, I can deploy my new module and then, the system see my HDD in HBA Mode.

My question is : how can I update the ISO of Proxmox to patch it with my own module to see my HDD during the installation process?

I also managed to install Proxmox in ZFS mode when I plug my HDD with an USB adaptor.
The installation is finished OK but my old server can't boot on USB HDD!

I also tried to boot on DEBIAN ISO but my ethernet adaptors aren't be recognized.

Thanks for your help if you have some ideas.

Hi,
Because without this driver, Proxmox doesn't see the HDD.
