Using scsi on the kernel line told it to load the scsi modules. The servers that had scsi installed when the OS was installed already 'knew' about the modules needed. A server that did not already have scsi installed would not automatically load the module so you had to tell the kernel scsi was needed. To fix that you need to make sure the scsi module is loaded either from the kernel line or from a line in modprobe.conf for now. A kernel update done after the scsi module is active should put it into the initrd image and should automatically handle that afterward. > > Aaron > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Aaron Gray > To: For users of Fedora Core releases > Sent: Sunday, October 08, 2006 2:52 PM > Subject: FC5 and SCSI > > > I have two SCSI cards but neither seems to be working.
