[SLE] Can't locate module block-major-8
I have just re-compiled my kernel with the suse 2.2.16 sources and when I try to access /dev/sda1 I get the message cannot locate module block-major-8. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? The drive is a DVD-RAM drive. I can read CDs in it as \dev\scd0 -- This e-mail may contain information which is commercial-in-confidence and/or legally privileged.

Maybe you have built the Scsi driver statically when it was a module before or vice versa. You may need to adjust rc.config:INITRD_MODULES and run mk_initrd. If your Scsi driver is now a module and you need to load it at boottime you may need to build initrd statically. -Hanspeter -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

You may need to include initrd=/boot/initrd in lilo.conf if you need to load the Scsi module at boottime. Or if you have your Scsi driver included statically you and have no other modules to load at boottime you may disable initrd in lilo.conf. -Hanspeter -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
