https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=206432 ------- Comment #13 from harbaugh@ncifcrf.gov 2006-09-22 04:48 MST ------- note that the 'hwinfo --disk' is from the system with the initrd that was 'remade' to include sbp2. Without the addition of sbp2 to the initrd, the boot won't get far enough to run hwinfo (since hwinfo is not in the initrd) How does the installer determine which driver is associated with which device? sbp2 is present as part of the installation; I can specifically select it during a manual install. Here is part of the log from a manual install: Kernel Modules (Hardware Drivers) 1) Load ppc Modules 2) Load USB Modules 3) Load FireWire Modules 4) Load File System Modules 5) Load Unknown Modules 6) Show Loaded Modules 7) Unload Modules 8) Add Driver Update 9) Show Driver Updates
