At home, I just did a from-scratch install of RedHat 7.0.
Unlike RH 6.x, it did not ask me if I had any SCSI cards or Network
cards, it just failed to detect them and left them un-configured.
I managed to modify modules.conf to account for my Network card and it
now does the right thing at boot time. (I preserved an old conf.modules
file.)
If I type:
modprobe aha1542
mount /dev/sda1 /u2
the SCSI disk is discovered and brought on line just fine.
But adding the line from the old conf.modules to modules.conf:
alias scsi_hostadapter aha1542
does NOT result in auto-detection.
Does anyone have any guess if this is because:
more configuration, done automagically in 6.x remans for me?
there is a bug in the modules initialization?
something changed in 7.0 to require further modules.conf hax.
Other info:
Neither 6.x installation with this adapter nor other systems I have are
utilizing an rc.local.
For whatever reason, all my other systems have an initrd.img file, but
this 7.0 system decided not to use one.
