How to force SCSI module loading back on boot time?
There are several ways to achieve that goal. If you boot Linux from an IDE disk, just add
alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx
This does not work (btw, why?). Actually, it worked *before* the update even though the alias to scsi adapter was set to "off" and I never changed it.
to your /etc/modules.conf. If you boot off a SCSI disk (which doesn't seem to be the case), you would have to take this route:
- boot SuSE Linux from CD or floppy - open /etc/rc.config in the editor of your choice, search for the line 'INITRD_MODULES =', add "aic7xxx" after the equal sign and save the file - add 'initrd = /boot/initrd' to the global section of /etc/lilo.conf - call mkinitrd - call lilo
Aha, that looks more promising. I'll try it tomorrow. The reason I want scsi module to load on boot without having a SCSI HDD is minor but annoying bug (feature :) in Gigabyte BIOS: it switches HDD LED on on boot via built-in SCSI BIOS on boot and keeps it ON forever if SCSI adapter is not initialized by a driver. So I can't monitor ANY disk access because HDD LED is always on. Of course the most simple solution would be to buy a SCSI disk :-).
