in rc.config:
INITRD_MODULES="aic7xxx usbcore ide-scsi"
after mk_initrd lilo.conf is never changed, so what is the purpose of running lilo ?
mk_initrd creates the file /boot/initrd. It is part of the lilo boot mechanism, you have to run lilo if you create one. You lilo.conf entry should look like this: image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/sda2 label = linux initrd=/boot/initrd
I still have to use modprobe to activate the scsi driver. It is not that bad.. at least it works, but it would be nice.. if that cd player works right after starting up.
Where are my drives mounted? Perhaps I can place a 'modprobe aic7xxx' before that.
You don't need to install aic7xxx again, the initrd file should have done it at boot. I lost the beginning of this thread, why are loading aic7xxx? Do you have SCSI devices that need it? why are you loading ide-scsi? -- Rafael Herrera Laboratory for Computational Neuroscience University of Pittsburgh http://www.neuronet.pitt.edu/~raffo
