I am not sure about which SCSI adapter you use. If it is a normal PCI adapter, even embedded and not a single slot card, these options certainly cause errors. It was just an example from modinfo I posted you before. It is often helpful to ask google for information by other users if you have problems with special hardware. It is good to know the whole and exact product name to search for. > =============== > > 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' > =============== ramdisk did build properly > 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 > =============== Ok, the problem is a ressources conflict.

After loading the module properly, can you do a "cat /proc/interrupts", "cat /proc/pci" (if it's a PCI adapter) and "cat /proc/ioports" to see which hardware resources the SCSI adapter uses? > Help is really appreciated. Alexander Thanks again, The SCSI Adapter is an embedded Adaptec AHA274x on an EISA bus. It is dual channel with 8 36 GB drives attached.
