I am running an updated FC2 system. My problem is that my raid modual is starting before my scsi modual and not auto-decting my software raid 5 on SATA disks (with scsi drivers). Could someone suggest to my how I can make sure that my scsi driver is loaded be the raid auto-detect starts? thank you donald Following is an excerp from my dmesg: md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE.
