Re: Hardware questions - SuSE 7.0/Kernel 2.2.16



Hi,

best is to add a lines like

alias scsi_hostadapter aha152x
alias   sr0             aha152x
alias scanner           aha152x

to yout /etc/conf.modules and then run depmod -a. Just replace the aha152x
with the module for your SCSI card and add whatever devices you
need. Works like a charm and will auto-load the module on first need. If
the module needs options, you also will have to add an options line (look
at your conf.modules for examples).

Another way on SuSE is to edit the variable INITRD_MODULES in
/etc/rc.config by adding the needed modules there and running SuSEconfig
and lilo. But this is only neccessary if you need the module in order to
boot the computer (e.g. your / disk is on the SCSI card) ...

Sincerely,

Schlomo Schapiro
