At boot time, on a completely patched FC1 with kudzu off, error messages appear concerning mptbase and mptscsih. I didn't notice any of these messages before I ran a yum update to grab all the patches. The modules.conf contains 2 relevant lines: alias scsi_hostadapter 3w-xxxx alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptscsih This box has a 2 channel SCSI on the main board that currently has nothing connected to either channel. The 3Ware Escalade has all the drives connected to it. The Box's BIOS (ASUS PR-DLS533) has the SCSI BIOS turned off, and yet something has located the hardware anyway. After the 3WARE drivers are loaded, it attempts to load mptbase and fails once per channel on ioc0 and ioc1 bringup. Then I get a slew of : /lib/mptscsih.o unresolved symbol mpt_blah_blah_blah and finally: ERROR /bin/insmod exited abnormally. I've tried commenting out the mptscsih line in the modules.conf and also tried alias scsi_hostadapter1 off but neither worked. I'm not sure what builds the list of things that insmod is going to attempt to load. What's the correct way to tell the O/S not to attempt to load mptbase & mptscsih ? If I'm reading what man modules.conf says, then "off" is supposed to do it, but it doesn't. If in the future we do need to use the SCSI channels, how do I put things back? -- Bill Gradwohl YCC (817) 224-9400 x211 www.ycc.com SPAMstomper Protected E-mail www.stomperware.com
