So are you saying that a machine with only SCSI discs
cannot boot a Fedora kernel
(ie a kernel that comes with the Fedora distribution)?
That's not what he said. The SCSI modules are not included in the initrd
image *by default*. If you install Fedora on a SCSI machine, anaconda
should detect this and include the necessary drivers in the initrd. It
will also add a scsi_hostadapter line to /etc/modprobe.conf, which will
cause any subsequent mkinitrd runs to include the needed modules too.
