Hi all, in my FC1 box, I've had an Adaptec SCSI controller for quite some time (first a 2940U2W, now a 29160) - all is working fine. To be able to use my Umax Powerlook 2000 SCSI scanner, I've added a second SCSI card, a generic Symbios 53c810 card. The second card was detected and configured by kudzu and the following entry was added to /etc/modules.conf : alias scsi_hostadapter1 ncr53c8xx However, on boot, the Symbios card is not detected and no driver is added. Once I run "modprobe -a scsi_hostadapter1" manually after booting has completed, the card and the scanner are correctly detected and work just fine. Hence my question: Why does that entry in /etc/modules.conf not work?
