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
to your /etc/modules.conf.
Tried once more and it definitely does not work with my configuration. BUT IT WORKED before I have applied the updates!
If you boot off a SCSI disk (which doesn't seem to be the case), you would have to take this route:
No, I am booting off the IDE disk. Does it mean I can do what listed below while booted from regular boot partition or I still have to boot from floppy?
- 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
What the format of this line? I already have a module for my NIC listed there ('tulip' DEC chipset), should I add aic7xxx to the line? Separate both modules with spaces?
- add 'initrd = /boot/initrd' to the global section of /etc/lilo.conf - call mkinitrd - call lilo
Either way should get the driver loaded the next time you boot Linux.
Hmm, then tell me why tulip module loads on each boot without all the above? What's the major difference between tulip and aic7xxx? Can I expect YaST to take care of everything if I just add aic7xxx to INITRD_MODULES after tulip? BTW, INITRD_MODULES is not mentioned nowhere in documentation: it is missing from the rc.config section of SuSE printed manual, and there is no manpage on rc.config either. This is a shame since rc.config is a crusial file for SuSE system configuration and I beleive it should be fully documented in the first place.
