Where could I see that? The output on console 3 starts with "remount of / ok",
followed by a list of modules that I haven't specified (like lockd.ko, fan.kom
nfs.ko etc.). Then follow some of my own modules, as described.

I pressed Ctrl-S after I saw my modules started to load and then
switched to console 9 and typed "lsmod". Indeed I see a lot of modules,
like the e1000 or ata_piix in this list.

Does it mean they were already loaded? If so, why did that happen?
If all those modules are preloaded at some stage, then I could never
ensure that a SCSI disks is detected before a SATA disk if ata_piix
is always loaded before my own SCSI modules via insmod. I thought
the insmod mechanism is meant to load modules before any other modules
are loaded automatically, to override the order in which hardware
is detected.

My current problem is that the card reader devices fetch sda-sdd and
the SATA disk is sde. I need the SATA disk to be sda and I can't start
to work with by-id or by-path because we have too many different hosts
systems (IDE+SCSI, Sata+SCSI, Sata+FC, IDE+Sata etc.). The only method
we ever found to handle all of those was to ensure that the main disk
is always detected as first disk by load-ordering the modules.

So how can we ensure the sata disk is detected before the USB devices?

Frank
