Not good for following and answering in discussion. Alexander Greetings: After a few days away I am back trying to solve this problem. I modified the modules.conf to: =============== alias eth0 3c509 alias scsi_host_adapter aic7xxx options aic7xxx 'aic7xxx=probe_eisa_vl.tag_info:{{}.{.10}}.seltime:1' =============== Next I did a mkinitrd and logged the results: =============== Looking for deps of module scsi_mod Looking for deps of module sd_mod scsi_mod Looking for deps of module scsi_mod Looking for deps of module unknown Looking for deps of module aic7xxx scsi_mod Looking for deps of module scsi_mod Looking for deps of module ide-disk Looking for deps of module ext2 Using modules: ./kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.o ./kernel/drivers/scsi/sd_mod.o ./kernel/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.o Using loopback device /dev/loop0 /sbin/nash -> /tmp/initrd.iF2107/bin/nash /sbin/insmod.static -> /tmp/initrd.iF2107/bin/insmod `/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2149.nptlcustom/./kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.o' -> `/tmp/initrd.iF2107/lib/scsi_mod.o' `/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2149.nptlcustom/./kernel/drivers/scsi/sd_mod.o' -> `/tmp/initrd.iF2107/lib/sd_mod.o' `/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2149.nptlcustom/./kernel/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx .o' -> `/tmp/initrd.iF2107/lib/aic7xxx.o' Loading module scsi_mod Loading module sd_mod Loading module aic7xxx with options 'aic7xxx=probe_eisa_vl.tag_info:{{}.{.10}}.seltime:1' =============== Upon rebooting the machine, carefully choosing the correct kernel, the boot process proceeds normally until it produced the following error on the console: =============== /lib/aic7xxx.0 insmod errors can be caused by incorrect IO or IRQ ..... /bin/insmod exited abnormally =============== The error text may not be exactly correct as it was scrolling when I tried to catch it. I could not find the message in the boot sequence logged in /var/log/messages or dmesg or in boot.log A fdisk -l did not show the SCSI drives. Next, if I do an insmod aic7xxx the module loads and the drives appear.
