I want to install a system with SuSE 10.1 via autoyast. The machine has two scsi controllers with harddisks attached to each of them. And there's the problem. During the booting procedure (from network) SuSE initializes a hardware detection and loads kernelmodules for the scsi controllers. But this happens in the wrong order and this results in that the scsi devices are recognized in the wrong order and autoyast fails respectively choses the wrong harddisk. The hardware detection happens before the autoyast configfile is read
That's correct, but...
and also adding an insmod command in the pxe-config has no effect. How can I determine and force SuSE to load kernelmodules in a specific order to get my scsi devices recognized correctly? The only workarround for the moment that helps is to detach the external disks. But thats no solution. If someone forgets to do this, the external data disk will get formated as a new system disk...
starting with sles10, 'insmod=' options passed at the kernel command line are evaluated _before_ hardware detection. Didn't make it into 10.1, sorry.
