That said, I ran into another problem. I was able to rescan-scsi-bus manually. But, when inserted like this: # Ooh, firewire too. if ! strstr "$cmdline" nofirewire ; then aliases=`/sbin/modprobe -c | awk '/^alias ieee1394-controller/ { print $3 }'` if [ -n "$aliases" -a "$aliases" != "off" ]; then for alias in $aliases ; do [ "$alias" = "off" ] && continue action $"Initializing firewire controller ($alias): " modprobe $alias done LC_ALL=C fgrep -q "SBP2" /proc/bus/ieee1394/devices 2>/dev/null && \ modprobe sbp2 >/dev/null 2>&1 /sbin/rescan-scsi-bus fi fi IT will NOT load at boot time.
