I have a system running RH6.1 (2.2.12-20) that is booting from an IDE disk.
I recently added a NCR SCSI controller to it (53C810 based). After
installation, kudzu recognized the new controller and added:
alias scsi_hostadapter ncr53c8xx
to /etc/conf.modules. However the module is not automatically loaded at
boot time or if I try to access an attached drive. If I try to mount a
SCSI drive, I get:
mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/sda as a block device
(maybe `insmod driver'?)
however if I do:
modprobe scsi_hostadapter
then the module is correctly loaded and I can then mount the disk.
What am I missing here to get the module to load automatically?
