Description Ovidiu D. Damian 2002-10-31 17:44:40 UTC

Reinstalling 1.4_rc1 on a box booting off scsi hard drive...

The installation guide for v1.4 says:
"Now, if you want to be able to access any SCSI hardware that wasn't detected
during the PCI autodetection process, you'll need to load the appropriate
modules from /lib/modules, again using modprobe:

Code listing 3.2: Loading SCSI Modules

# modprobe aic7xxx
# modprobe sr_mod
# modprobe sd_mod

aic7xxx supports your SCSI controller, sr_mod supports a SCSI CD-ROM, and sd_mod
supports SCSI hard disks. "

When issuing 
# modprobe sd_mod
the output is "modprobe: Can't locate module sd_mod"

Here's what scsi modules there are:
# ls /lib/modules/2.4.19-xfs-r1/kernel/drivers/scsi/
Result: ide-scsi.o imm.o osst.o pas16.0 ppa.o sg.o st.o

I don't think this is needed anyways, isn't scsi support built into the kernel???
