and that would do it for me also. HD's are SCSI... if I remember correctly without the scsi_mod module it can not detect and see the controllers thus seeing the drive(s)... guess I'll take a look at doing a new mkinitrd and force it to include the scsi_mod module. mkinitrd will allow you to force include additional modules. -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Robin Bowes Sent: Friday, December 03, 2004 1:11 PM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: FC3 SMP builds do NOT contain ext3 drivers in the build!!!!

I've had a look at the contents of the initrd for kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 vs. kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3smp. kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3smp is missing the following modules: Only in initrd-2.6.9-1.681_FC3/lib: sata_promise.ko Only in initrd-2.6.9-1.681_FC3/lib: scsi_mod.ko Only in initrd-2.6.9-1.681_FC3/lib: sd_mod.ko Also, the following lines are missing in init: -echo "Loading scsi_mod.ko module" -insmod /lib/scsi_mod.ko -echo "Loading sd_mod.ko module" -insmod /lib/sd_mod.ko -echo "Loading libata.ko module" -insmod /lib/libata.ko -echo "Loading sata_promise.ko module" -insmod /lib/sata_promise.ko That explains why kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3smp doesn't boot on my system. So, I guess I need to re-build the initrd or wait for a new kernel release that fixes this.
